Completed after a two year delay, but I'm not complaining, a beautiful and faithful rendition of Bo's Favorite by the great pipe maker, Bob Davison of RM Pipes!
I originally commissioned this pipe from Bob in 2013 and asked him to replicate the pipe Bo Nordh is pictured with which has a crack in the bowl. Bengt Carlson, Bo's friend, originally made a few copies after Bo passed and can be seen in the photo surrounding Bo's own in the center. Bob took a leave of absence from pipe making and, out of the blue, contacted me on 10/25/2015 to tell me that he had completed the pipe! The pipe was fitted with a different stem than the original which was different than the Bo's Favorite and can be seen in the photos. Bob had the original stem and fitted it to the pipe to complete his rendition of the Bo's Favorite.
