Pics of Russian pipe porn & link for hundreds more - same guy (pic heavy)

[simnettpratt]

Here's some pics of a Russian artisan's beautiful and weird pipes. Peck or Harris will know his name in English, his website's in Cyrillic. He makes some beautiful and normal pipes, like these:

Then the acid apparently starts kicking in, and you get:

Say what you will, some are too weird, but there ain't no denying the dude's a freaking artist. Here's the link to his website, with hundreds of pages of more pics.

Yes some are weird in shape but he has very beautiful artwork.very unique carvings.He really brings out his character in his woods.The pipes in the beginning are incredible.Make no mistake i would love to own anyone of them.Simnettpratt thanks for sharing.It helps to show us the buffets of pipe makers.

WOW! Some eye poppers there. I love the Volcano myself.

when the acid trip kicks in...lol
I really like most of those fancier ones wouldnt even know they were pipes till someone picked it up and started packing it lol. some are very odd shaped but some are just my style.

Looks like the work of Andrey Savenko. His pipes are marked "SAVA"

Click the link for more. Over a hundred pages, some are more art than pipes, sure, but you can't resist all of them. And some of the weird ones you end up liking, too. I like the horn (the last one before he drops the acid), and I could see myself smoking the next to last one. Or just buy a new car.
On his site, it looks like they're called

. Kinda looks like Savenko, I guess. I'll see if I can find out.

No doubt.
Russia got mad scientist pipemakers.

Stunning!! Thank you for sharing these. I am awed.

 

[simnettpratt]

@sergemoat: Confirmed, it's Andrey Savenko, thank you. Googled him and saw his picture, same as on his site. Weird looking dude, but mad pipe carving skills. Dude's like a musician that can play all the instruments.

Wow.

Here's some more interesting reading on Russian pipes. Main site is in French but these articles are in English.

EDIT: Some Eastern European carvers are included.

 

[simnettpratt]

And I thought the Japanese made the weirdest pipes. Thanks for the links, guys!

Simple pipes for simple people: I'll take the dark finished Canadian pictured above!
And it's not just pipes; you wouldn't catch me driving a Lamborghini either, even if I could afford one!

 

[condorlover1]

Wow. That has really confused me. I think I need another scotch!

 

[simnettpratt]

@dottie: After going back through these a few times, the dark Canadian is absolutely my favorite, too. Shiny. And I damn sure would drive a Lambo if I could afford one. Hell, I drive the nicest car I can afford now - I just got lucky that Miatas are cheap!
Ryan Alden lonestar: Savenko has only been carving for five years, you might want to find out where he gets his acid!

 

[simnettpratt]

I didn't see one single weird pipe in there

I think moto's on acid right now

Alright my friend, how about: Unique to the Point of Eccentricity?

 

[numbersix]

Nice find - none of these is my cup of tea, but there's no denying the man's got talent!

 

[fadingdaylight]

Amazing stuff. I like the wild and the standard shapes. That chimney, second from the top is my style all the way. Great stuff guys.

 

[simnettpratt]

The ones I've seen for sale go for ~$500-$1000. Probably more too. I am also Unique to the Point of Eccentricity, and I have to admit, I'd love to go to the smoking lounge at Up In Smoke or wherever, and pull out one of the extravagant ones.
He only started carving five years ago, in 2009, puts out about 40 a year. Apparently it is possible to be born to carve pipes.
PS If you want one that looks like the 'normal' ones, get a Ryan Alden (lonestar). His go from about $150-350. Most are about $200.
