Looks like there are a few posted for sale right now, someone already bought one! Those are more than I usually spend on a pipe, but there's probably a lot of good value there.

Looks like the total sold is up to 3 now, go Ken GO! The pointed Dublin is really nice, but I really liked that Dublin sitter that sold, very sharp looking pipe.

I liked it too. In fact, I had it in my cart when the phone rang. Returning to my computer that beauty was gone!!

Ouch....yeah, that's happened to me with tobacco before, but not a pipe....yet. Hopefully there shall be plenty more to come from Ken in the future, so maybe he'll stick another one up there.

The gentleman who bought the billiard from me just sent me these pix.

I didn't have the type of lens I needed at Vegas and couldn't get any decent snaps of this one so I'm very grateful that I have these shots to post.

Those are amazing pieces and given the history, attention to detail, priced correctly.

It will be exciting to see this develop!

Does anyone know if Ken, well, would appreciate visitors to his factory? The only thing better than acquiring a new pipe is getting to purchase it from the maker.

I am pretty sure his "factory" is his private residence, but that's really a guess. It's also a bit removed from the London area, being down in beautiful Cornwall. He's a gentleman, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd welcome a visitor or two with appropriate notice.

Good effort Ken.
I particularly like Cumberland stems and they compliment the grain of the bowls beautifully.

He's presently doing his work in the workshop of Paul Hubartt of Larrysson Pipes. He bought some equipment, though, from the old James Upshall workshop, which I presume he brought to Paul's shop.
