I want to recommend anyone wanting a commission to consider Scott Hudson. The process was smooth and painless. The price-point is an incredible value. I have had my Scott Hudson commission for a few weeks and wanted to give it a go before I posted one way or the other about my conclusions. The fit and finish meet and exceed my expectations. The stain is exactly what I wanted and the pipe itself was exactly what I asked for. Love the Bird's Eye and the grain. I have a large collection of Zulus, but I wanted a stout Zulu/Dublin "on steroids", i.e forward cant, that was not too long, and ready for business with a flake. A pipe intended to smoked outdoors and not set on a mantel. Seriously, he read my mind. The stem is perfect, to my exact request. The draw is as good as it gets in my opinion. So please have a look at the Photo Album of my new Scott Hudson pipe, and please do yourself a favor and have him make your pipe, your way. God Bless Scott Hudson.
