J Alan Nautical Dublins

[peckinpahhombre]

Jeff Gracik of J Alan pipes makes a shape that he calls a Nautical Dublin, inspired by his love of sailing.
Last week I picked up an older estate in this shape as well as a new pipe that he had just made in that shape. These two are below, with the estate first.

Jeff makes stunning pipes. I literally drool at his IG posts. Little out of my range right now but would live to own one someday.
Plus being named Jordan Alan it'd be cool owning a pipe stamped J Alan.

I love Jeff's pipes. I just wish I could afford them.

Love the look of the Bow of a boat, graceful long shank, what's not to like about this. Wonderful Peck

Jeff does some great work...and also happens to be one of the nicest guys in the business! We've run into him at several shows this year and always is willing to give some advice along the way....

Jeff does some great work

ZACK does some GREAT work! Would love to have one of your pipes someday...

Yup. Good choice.

The bottom one is very nice but I am a fool for a good sandblast.

 

[condorlover1]

Are they a little on the heavy side Peck? Whats the length?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

The black one is just over 6 inches and 56g. the sandblast was a tad shorter and a few gems heavier

Glad you pulled the trigger on that black one, Peck, it's a stunner.

Absolutely lovely, Peck, enjoy them!

I'll give the carver the nautical association; he's not doing a boat model, just a suggestion of a prow.

I really like the stem treatment on that top pipe, an effortless seeming dash of style. I like the solidity

of these.

The black one is absolutely stunning. Very nice, Peck

...also like the slight asymmetry ... an ease with not keeping things too engineered looking.

As always Counsellor, STUNNING! :puffpipe:

I would have expected them to be heavier. With the wide bit on the smooth, it will make for a great clenching pipe.
