Proudly Presenting my Larrysson Commission Wax Drip Pipe

[jmatt]

I've been sworn to secrecy until today. A couple of months ago I commissioned a wax drip pipe from one of the few craftsmen in the world who make wax drip pipes. And today it is finished. I also have a more conventional pipe (Bent Rhodesian) from Larrysson, and I highly recommend his work as pipes among the highest quality of pipes I've had the pleasure to smoke.

22 pictures of the pipe from raw briar to completion are available here: Larrysson Wax Drip Pipe (and others)

O M G - WOW - that is one serious dripper! Great score.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING !! That is a fine piece of art and a lovely pipe indeed. If it smokes half as good as it looks, you have a real gem. Congrats !

Hypnotic, organic, endlessly fascinating lines.

I love his blast work and the drip over the top is spectacular. I pick up the stubby Rhodie he had. Fantastic smoker. He's a remarkable talent. Enjoy,

I looked through all the pictures, and that's an incredible talent! Too bizarre for my tastes though.

Amazing work. I should be receiving my Larrysson pipe today; a blasted Dublin. Not nearly as dramatic as your pipe but I'm excited nonetheless. Enjoy your new piece of art. Just gorgeous.

I get that, but notice that most of his pipes are much more conventional. For example:

And yes - I understand that the functional art stuff is typically love it or leave it. :puffpipe:

That is one cool looking pipe. I hope it smokes great for you.

 

[lifesizehobbit]

Very cool; I'm always amazed at artisan work that seems to make something "complex" from simple technique. It's always in the vision and touch.
Enjoy!

That wood does look like liquid wax! Really striking work. Cool acquisition! ::

 

[carver]

It looks really nice. The wood work is really impressive as it does look like drips of wax. Very nice! I hope it's a good smoker as well !

 

[jmatt]

I realize it's the wood, not the carver, but I love how the bird'seye on the top literally melts off the sides. I'm pretty excited to get it. Week or two from GBR to USA?
