Ken Barnes Returns To Finding The Grain - Pix Heavy

[balkisobrains]

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.

Another one sold. Good for Ken!

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!!

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

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.

I showed those to my wife and her response was, “There just ain’t enough stars for those pipes!” She knows stuff!!!

 

[ssjones]

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

It will be exciting to see this develop!

I am in love !! Bravo Ken !!
Cheers,

Chris

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.

 

[jpmcwjr]

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.

This post is great... Ken is a genius! I'm so happy he start to make pipes again.

I'll love to commission him one, could someone please give is contact?

 

[craiginthecorn]

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.

 

[jpmcwjr]

I'll drop him a note and ask him to look in here, and get in touch, ekh.

 

[ekhnaton]

Thanks ! :D

 

[jpmcwjr]

Glad to see you are hooked up with Ken. Can't wait to see what he makes for you! (and others).

 

[ekhnaton]

I've just got in touch with him, I'll keep you posted. Thanks everybody for kind help.
