One step closer.

Well a Ferndown Reo 3* arrived today and got me one pipe closer to the 7 day British bent bulldog set I am working on. When the Askwith arrives I will be up to 4.

That's a handsome group of pipes and one of my favorite shapes. I can't wait to see 7 of those beauties in a row.

 

[tarheel1]

It will be a while. Takes time to get them made or to find them.

Fine looking trio of bulldogs.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I am impressed. My favorite shape as well, and two makers I think very highly of. Congrats. That will be a set to be proud of.

 

[pylorns]

Man those are pretty.

 

[davet]

Very nice trio

 

[ssjones]

That's a great set.

Lovely pipes for sure. You are off to a great start. I see why you will need a nice display rack for them. ::

You might want to look at Banjobobs site he has some interesting bulldog pipes.

Thanks for that, but I have pretty specific idea of what I am looking for. They are British made group 5 bent bulldogs with a tapered stem New.

 

[tarak]

That's a nice set of dogs you have there.

I'm not sure I could be that committed to a single size and shape. I do not have the discipline. I do collect Charatan extra large freehand straight grains. The easy part is no two are ever alike. I did find a Upshall large freehand that is the equal of any of my selected's. I did notice a special forces emblem. Any significance?

Your newest Ferndown really has appeal. I like the dark stain and bead lines, traditional but distinctive. Love my 'dogs.
