Not one of mine...just a pic I found on the web...

Cool though!

I have been looking at those Russian /Ukraine pipes for quite a while. I just may end up snagging one.

 

[bytor]

Art...where have you been looking at them?

The picture I found wasn't associated with a site that sold pipes, it was just a picture google picked up from somebodies blog.

I would probably buy one just cause it's cool looking.

I've looked at them too. If anyone has one or gets one let us know how well they are constructed. I'd like to know how well they smoke, cause IMO they do look good for the money.

Thanks guys!
Hmmm...it says that it's made of briar....but it certainly doesn't look like it from looking at the bowl.
I might still get one...not sure if I'd dare smoke it though!

An obscenely talented carver from the Ukraine is Konstantin Shekita. Both of these pipes are $500 (one is sold). Compared to some of the stuff I've seen priced much higher, these are definitely underrated.
Sorry the pictures are enormous.

WOW! First time I have seen lattice carved briar. Exceptional!

 

[pstlpkr]

That is sharp!

What do ya think?

Drilled then gouged?

I bet it was a pain to stain.

 

[unclearthur]

I would say drilled and then a special tool like the ones for making nested balls on a lathe was used.

 

[bytor]

Sweeeeet! I like the bottom one best, but I generally prefer smooth.

Those 2 pipes are really some works of art!

Those 2 pipes are really some works of art!

I bet if they had a white dot on the stem they'd fetch at least $1500 to $2000.

 

[sapo59]

Wow!!! Thats some carving skills there. I'd be scared to handle the first one, Looks fragile.
