New Francois Dal pipe

[Haggard]

Anyone know Francois Dal? I never heard of him, but I saw one of his pipes when I was picking up a Dunhill he was selling and wound up bidding on his creation as well.
I was attracted to the craggy blast and stem. Looks nicer than the Dunhill I got, I think. About the price, well, I guess it's worth that much now! I've never heard of this guy before, but I thought he did a decent job on this one.
He's from Belgium. That's where the story ends for me. If anyone has tried his pipes, I'm interested to know.

French carver, he is very popular in the French pipe forum. I don't have one, but I would love to get one, one of these days.

That's a real nice looking pipe and the price is reasonable. Good luck with it and let us know how it smokes.

I like that finish. Would like to see it in a lighter shade.

The price is reasonable, I would love to get one but Ive already blew my pipe budget for the year :lol:

I like the rustication, which to me sometimes works better than blast because of the evenness.
