I Must Be A Blind Squirrel - Finally Found A Love For Acorns

[lordofthepiperings]

It only took 11yrs, but I finally found a love for the acorn shape.

The last 3-5yrs I was on the hunt for straight pipes; lovats, billiards, apples. Bent pipes just weren’t appealing to me.

A week ago I stumbled on Sean Reum’s Instagram and absolutely fell in love with an acorn he had made. From there I was off, I scoured SmokingPipes website to put some in my wishlist and I was searching Instagram for more pictures of acorns to feed my new obsession.

I might have to add to my LVIPS budget and make sure I pick up an acorn at the show in October.

Nice, just looked them up. Those are the perfect bents for me almost, I prefer 1/4 bent the most. But I've always been a bent pipe guy mainly. Hope you're doing ok you'd mentioned health issues and Diaylsis. Nice to see you taking pleasure in pipes again. Cheers

Next thing you know it’s strawberries, careful, it’s a slippery slope.

I guess this one's technically an acorn.

Here is my one acorn. I really like it. Chris Kelly of Eldritch Pipes made it.
