Cutty Madness. Match 2.

[NomadOrb]

This one is tough, gun to my head, I'll have to say 2, just because I'm more fond of darker finishes.

 

[anotherbob]

the second one all the way. Both are nice but for me it's not even close.

 

[Winnipeger]

#2. My only complaint about #1 is the bowl is too upright for a cutty. Pretty sure I recognize both of these carvers.

 

[Blue ridge smoke]

Put me down for #2.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Hands down… #2

 

[kcghost]

They are both beautiful, but I'll go with the second one.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

You had me at warthog tusk!

 

[RustiePyles CPG]

No.2

 

[PA Piper Mike]

Torn on this one, but #2 wins this 1 for me.

Make sure to pm a mod, if u want of course, to close these when you make the final tally.

I'm actually just afraid I may miss one of them or get confused which ones I voted on lol. And if they are closed they slowly disappear lol.

#2 by a landslide. #1 is god awful

 

[PipesRock]

It's true that is a feature of a classic cutty, but it's actually the primary thing I dislike about the shape, which is in part why I chose #1.

I like both for sure. Excellent workmanship. While the cutty feel is there with #2, forward cant and well proportioned, if I'm forced between a canted bowl and upright I'd prefer the upright. How about a reverse-canted-not-really-cutty? I mean the best smelling smoke from the pipe is from the bowl so why shouldn't I enjoy it?! But I digress ... #1

#2

#2

I think it is a good idea to photograph both the pipes under the same conditions (Background, tone) for easier judging for us.

I agree. The backdrop makes a difference in perception.

Had the same thought. I’ll reach out to you to get them closed probably the day before I post new ones if thats ok. Mostly don’t want them to get bumped to the point that theres 8 of them kicking around, hahaha.

 

[Briar Tuck]

I thought about that as well, but decided against it for two reasons.

1. I wanted the carvers pieces to be represented in the light, angles, and photo quality that they chose to photograph them in. All I have is my camera phone, and I wanted to make sure their pieces were displayed as they would have them displayed to the client, so I used their photographs of their own pieces.

2. I am lazy and did not want to do it.

That makes sense. I didn't realize that the photos were taken by the makers.

 

[lraisch]

Neither really races my motor, but number 2 is the better choice.

 

[Sidehatch]

#2 again for me.

Sounds good to me!
