Kesling Custom Briar Pipes?

[sebastian]

With tax return season upon us, I should shortly have a little extra scratch to play with. That being said, I started looking through several sites of custom pipe makers, and came across this one.

Last night, I sent an email off to Donald Kesling with my thoughts on a custom, commissioned piece and am waiting to hear back from him.
Has anybody here commissioned a pipe with him? Thoughts? Opinions?

Here's mine that I really love. I got it from Don at the Kansas City Show in 2011.

From what I've seen on his web site, I don't think his work is quite in line with the prices he's charging.

Pack it up and give it a go.

Good looking pipe, Kevin!
Hope he gets back to me soon. If he is willing, Id really like to get the ball rolling.

He certainly has some inventive looking pipes. I like some of them. That popeye poker is certainly something would like on my desk.
