I'm seeing a Ryan Alden pipe in my future. :
:
No doubt.
Me too.
In fact I just closed onna commish yesterday,
my 5th Alden.
7 day set here I come! :

I wrote Ryan and asked if he could possibly make me one of these:

...except about an inch shorter and with a squat squashed bowl,
and with a light stain...
...oh yeah,
and with a honey colored stem,
like this:

...and he said,
no problem MLC,
look in your mailbox.
I looked in my mailbox
and damned if there wasn't the pipe!
He's very good.
That's a slight exaggeration, :P
but it was like fate or something that he happened to have on hand some oddball honey colored ebonite,
not exactly something I was expecting him to have readily available,
not exactly the most commonly seen color,
and not exactly something I was expecting him to have readily available,
I was stoked!
