Never see anything quite like this before...

Looks Danish.

Made by Doug Finlay?

 

[pappymac]

Never seen one like that but I like it.

(Edit: How long is the stem? Is that what would be considered a Belge?)

 

[shanez]

I like it a lot.

Made by Doug Finlay?

That was my guess too, mainly from the photography though.

This looks like George’s photography. George, did you carve this one?

Sorry, I forgot to include the dimensionalityness.

'tis a biggie. Not a giant, but definitely ate its Wheaties ---

if someone guesses correctly, do they win it?

It wasn't intended as a name-guessing contest, but now that you mention it, why not?

The winner will get TEN pipes. All of them his choice from Jesse Silver's Barling collection. Jesse will even throw in a round trip to Oregonia, USA via private jet so they can select them in person.

Bent Belge by Georged?

Yes, it is a pipe I made. It was a commission. If the person receiving it wants to reveal themselves, they will. George and I are in contact every week and I quite often send him progress pics of stuff I'm working on, and final pics when done.

We don't often see fresh shapes, I love what you did with that chunk of wood and the way the grain works with the angle of the bowl, bravo!

Thank you, I do try to mix in some outside-the-box ideas, when I can. You can follow me on IG, if you're on there. Not sure if I should post my info on here. I could always PM you, if not.

I get such a kick from seeing Doug lead you on.

HE doesn't carve his pipes, his pet parrot does. Gnaws 'em into shape, shine's 'em up with its feathers, the works.

All Doug has to do his feed Mr. Parrot a handful of tasty treats to get him to do it.
