Three amazing carvers got together and that collection was the best that they could come up with?
In reading the copy from the webpage posted, they were trying to go for a very classical English look to their designs, that could rival the best years of Dunhill. Not the Dunhills that make great bonsai planters, but the golden age of Dunhill. puffy

From theming would've expected something more. Exotic accents or finishes in classic shapes. Maybe a spiral shank.

I was really expecting something different from you, ha ha. You usually surprise me with your responses to me. But, maybe in time these guys will surprise us too. Or, they'll make something you would be proud to plants some succulents in, ha ha.

Was wondering about these myself per my post a few days ago and was thinking about pulling the trigger on one but didnt. Its hard to tell from the pictures but it looks to me like the blast on some of those pipes is not even around the bowl. The bottom of the apple 2105 (now sold) looks like there is a crater in it. Maybe its just the pictures or maybe I dont know about pipe finishing. But i would have thought that ideally the blast continues evenly around the bowl. And the front of the billiard 2106 looks like it has a bit pit in it. Does anyone else see that?
