Michael Parks' Briar Calabash

[ssjones]

You had me at "Micheal Parks"! The birds eye on that top looks deep enough to go in off the high dive.

This is the best calabash I have ever seen. Amazing.

How much? Can I get one too???

Knowing Parks, probably around 2 grand.

It is perfectly proportioned and so graceful.

A truly stunning pipe, Mr. Parks is definitely on top of his craft.

Thanks guys. I am anxious to get delivery of this pipe.

How much? Can I get one too???

Just email Michael and tell him you want the $29 Calabash special.

This is one great looking specimen. I imagine the smoking will be exquisite. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I was just talking to Michael about this pipe yesterday. You're a lucky guy!
Oh, and this is my first post, so hi guys.

$29? Man, I was charged $59.
Just when I think Parks can't top himself, he hits another home run.
That is stunning. I need a thesaurus. Stunning is an understatement.

 

[jmatt]

Well $&%#. Now I need that. I can't believe no one has commented on the stem. The stem alone is amazing.

 

[ssjones]

daveg is right, it's difficult to find adequate words for that one, which is almost too much to take in at one viewing. A modern day master.

 

[voorhees]

Spectacular.

 

[jefff]

I just spent some time perusing calabashes by other makers. The comparison makes this one even more stunning.

 

[jefff]

I was sure I had all the pipes I needed........DAMN YOU PECK.
First Ryan Alden and now this.

 

[jndyer]

Just absolutely gorgeous. Good on you for owning that lovely piece of artistic smoking wood.

Jefff, I looked at several briar calabashes and some don't even resemble a true gourd calabash to my eye. What I liked about what Michael did is that he really channeled the shape of a real gourd. I would send Michael a link to this discussion but I don't want it to go to his head.

 

[jefff]

I agree. It is just perfectly executed.
