My 7 day American Pipe Carvers Set

[friendlyneighborhood]

Howdy! This is a pipe set I've been working on acquiring for a little while, finally got a few pipes and the stand to finish it off (for now). Here it is!

From left to right:
1. Alex Florov
2. John and Jared (JnJ)
3. Jeff Gracik (J. Alan)
4. Todd M. Johnson
5. Ernie Markle
6. Adam Remington
7. Jody Davis
(8.) Neal Yarm (stand)
All of these guys carve or make their wares in the USA.

Thanks, guys!

Love them all...I especially like the Jody Davis! The display is beautiful as well. Congrats on pulling this set together. How long did this take you?

@dixie I started collecting pipes in December of 2013 and got the JnJ in early 2014. I guess you could say it started then, but the bulk of these pipes were acquired in 2015.

What's the top wood on the stand? Spalted beech or maple ?

 

[pylorns]

The JandJ - reddit pipe of the year?

That sir is an awesome set of pipes...very lovely indeed! ::

@weedsnager It's spalted tamarind. @pylorns Yes, indeed. @jkrug Thanks so much!

Nice set all around, but I especially like those three fatties on the right. Those Yarm stands are a cool way to showcase good-looking pipes.

 

[kcghost]

Nice set. I really liked the Markle pipe.

 

[daveinlax]

Very Nice! You know what would look cool is to have all the carvers sign their place on the stand. 8O

The Rhodesian stands out for me, a lot of bright stain and defined shape. A beautiful set altogether. Nothing ordinary about your pipes.

 

[disinformatique]

Labour of Love, very impressive indeed !! Hope you have years of smoke from the pipes.

[papipeguy]

Very nice. Will you work on getting a month of pipes together?

 

[iamn8]

@aldecaker Thanks! @kcghost Thanks, I wanted his dirigible shape for a very long time. Finally got lucky! @daveinlax It would be very cool but as of right now, it's not a "complete" set yet. The JnJ is very nice, but will be replaced. Nothing against those guys, but the others have more of a long-standing reputation is all. @mso489 Thanks, the rhodesian is gorgeous, and absolutely a unique bunch! @the pipe monk Thank you, I hope to have these for a long time to come. @papipeguy No, probably not, haha, I just downsized my collection a lot so that I could specifically have less pipes, but nicer pipes, too. @Nate Maybe, I already had one and decided it wasn't right for my collection. I'll have another one day, and maybe it'll be a part of this set!

I love them all. That Jody Davis is especially magnificent. That is one of his stemless pipes, no?
