I typically prefer classic shaped meers for smoking, but I love Yanik's carvings.

Beyond what I'm willing to spend...but will be worth the price as a work of art for someone.

Not a bad price on that one either. Did you see this one?

I put that one on my watch list.

I'm trying to decide if I should wait for the Vegas pipe show or get it instead.

Fascinating pipe.

Yes I certainly did, and I actually thought of you immediately when I saw it...seems like that one belongs in your collection...amazing, as are many of them on his page.
If his skulls were less Harryhausen's and more Grey's, I'd be all over that one.

Yanik is indeed an artist. The detail is exquisite. Unfortunately, I have no need of pumpkin colored meers, even if it is getting on to Halloween. New meerschaums are supposed to a pure white. But, I'm an old guy, set in my ways.:sher:
He just uses unbleached beeswax.
 
More than a carver Yanık is sculptor.He is expensive because instead of carving huge numbers of pipes weekly,he focus on working project based.I worked with him on 2 projects,ı had chance to see his workshop and library about smoking pipes.He is very knowledgeable on this art.Most of his pipes has a historical story.
