Larrysson Straight Grain

[kenbarnes]

I am so pleased to see one of very few 'pure' naturally finished clean straight grains (with a hand-cut vulcanite Cumberland mouthpiece) being made in England.

The English tradition of handmade straight grains seems to be a thing of the past. Hopefully 'The Tradition Continues'! :clap:

Fess up, Mr Barnes. That's one of your new collection of naturals we're all waiting to see completed?

Exquisite, whichever.

No, not at all. I saw it and thought how fine this piece is.. and coming from England.

That's definitely a beautiful pipe. Excellent grain!

That is one maker from England that has so far eluded my collection.

Very nice, he says that has the "Crown" grade.

Wow, that's a nice bit of shape and grain matching. A good looking piece for sure.

Beautiful pipe in my favorite shape, thanks for those pictures.

Larryson is a wonderful carver. I own one of his wax drips and it's just a beautiful pipe. As I recall, he retired for a couple of years because he had developed problems in his hands from the work, but was able to recover and return to making pipes.

He is a member here and posts occasionally.

Yes Jesse I agree. Paul is a self-taught genius with exceptional attention to detail. His hand-cut vulcanite mouthpieces are the finest I have ever seen...way up there... and, when working in pipe stores in Germany in 1975-1977, and in the Frankfurt trade fairs from 1975-1989 I have seen many pieces from the best makers at that time, Bang, Garbe and so on.

First class.

Not seen Paul on the forum in a while....I hope he is well.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Ken, you're making me blush (not really, but I do appreciate the kind words). Jay, all is well. I do look in on the forum frequently, but haven't posted as of late. Between work, pipe making, and playing bass, I haven't been spending much time online.

I'm lucky enough too own 2 of Paul's pipes. They are wonderful pieces and smoke beautifully. I hope to add more in the future.

I have one of Paul's pipes. It smokes wonderfully and I would highly recommend getting one.
