Randy Wiley pipes

[North Pole piper]

Does Randy Wiley do commissions and if so does anyone have pics they could share of one they had commissioned?

No idea I'm afraid - but no harm asking him!

My B&M sells a fair amount of Wiley's and so is in contact with him. I wanted an Old Oak Canadian, so they told him my request and about 6 months later it showed up. The delay was in waiting for a big enough block. I'm not sure he does "commissions" per se, in terms of working directly and closely with a buyer.

Thanks. That’s a great looking pipe! I love his Old Oak line, but don’t own one yet.

That’s plan B! Thanks.

You may have a hard time asking him because I couldn't find contact info last time I tried. I assumed he wanted it that way so he could get some work done without the phone constantly ringing. He was making about 1500 pipes a year, so he's hard at it.
