My First Commission - Ezequiel Herreria

[bungee]

The pipe gods have been very good to me lately and I would like to share my joy with you through this pictures.
My first commission is on it's way!
It is by Ezequiel Herreria, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The man is a complete gentleman and a true artisan.

He is very knowledgeable, specially for his age, and very generous with his knowledge and advice.
He's been kind enough to document the process of making my first commission by sending me these pictures.

I will update the thread as work progresses.
His work is top notch and his pricing very adequate.
Check out his work:

Looking very good. Is your pipe going to be similar to the diamond shape shank bulldog on his site? That one is beautiful.

Thank you for all your comments guys!
@Papipeguy, it is a two pipe commission inspired by Gloucesterman's new Moretti morta (first set of pics) and the two Il Ducca that follow. One is going to be a 1/4 bent bulldog and the other and oval shank Rhodesian. Of course, as interpreted and thought by the artisan.
Cheers,
J
