Looking for this Liberty Coin Pipe

[jpourteau]

Hello all.. I love some direction here...
For some time I have appreciated a particular pipe made by Scott Hudson. I have tried to connect with him over the past 4 months with no reply... I assume he is either out of business, retired or passed. The pipe is the Rusticated Liberty coin pipe

Can anyone help me connect with Scott OR know of someone who can make something similar?
Thanks!

That's an interesting pipe. If you can't establish contact with this carver, maybe you could commission something similar from another maker. Try contacting other carvers to see who would be willing to make something like this for you.

Two pipe carvers who come to mind are Arly Curtz and Tony Fillenwarth. They both work with rusticated surface treatments, make great smoking pipes, and are reasonably priced.

In that style, I may recommend Jim Brown of Heisenberg Pipes. If you go that route, just tell him Nate sent you. He helped me get started making pipes.

Thanks above! I will contact them and see who is game!

Whatever you do, look at their work. Make sure you like their style before you decide to go with them, as even on a commission like this, their own personal style will show through.
