Cutty Madness. Semifinals Match 1.

[alaskanpiper]

Here we have the lithe black blast cutty with cocobolo wood shank extension against the classic cross-cut tan blast with horn shank extension. You guys sure know what you like

Some of these pipes are distinctive and the carver may be recognizable to many. Please try to avoid guessing the carver in the comments so as not to influence any voters, but feel free to comment on what you like and don't like about each one. Apparently they have done away with the poll feature here, so please cast your vote in a comment and I will count them when the threads begin to naturally slow down.

Number two. The shaping is less tulip-fied.

This is getting increasingly difficult.
