Ok, I promised myself last one for a while, but couldn't pass up another 50% off deal.... There's one more Ferndown Reo left at the pipe shop (pictured at bottom of the group), so someone buy it before I have to...?

I was told they are trying to sell off all the stock, because they are getting more pipes in from a new supplier.
If I recall, Les Wood was a silversmith with Dunhill where he picked up carving skills as well, before he went into business for himself. I have a smooth bent billiard by him that is an admirable pipe. He's in the grand old tradition of British wood.
Yes, due to the fact that he was a reputable silversmith, I am surprised that the two Ferndowns pictured here do not have silver bands. I rather do like sterling silver bands on pipes, but I suppose it is good to have a variety.
Same. Doubtless he produced high quality craftsmanship but something about the shaping is just a bit off.
I agree, but he nailed the Bulldog/Rhodesian shape in my opinion.........
Can't comment on that one as that's the only shape I can't bring myself to buy.
