Scott Thile Egg

[peckinpahhombre]

I picked up my third Scott Thile pipe today, a bent egg. The other two I have were discussed here: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/scott-thile-pipes-amp-pipe-bag.
Some nice grain on this one. Scott is certainly one of my favourite American carvers.

The Lines, The Lines, so Graceful, Peck you made my day with this one. Art my Friend Art.

Probably my favorite feature of this shape is Scott's transition from shank to bowl; the "arrow" on the bottom is just so elegant.
I've been thinking about adding a third Thile to my collection as well.


Nicely done, Peck!

Peck and Big Van
I think I have the same style pipe from Scott!

Great smoking pipe! I love it.
Enjoy, Peck

I think Scott Thile is my favourite smooth pipe carver. Whenever I look at his smooth pipes, I think I am looking at an S Bang. That said, Michael Parks is working on a two pipe smooth set for me now, so we will have to see how that turns out.

Fantastic Allan. I am bitter you didn't bring this one when we met in Manhattan a couple of weeks ago.

Scott Thile is just a wonderful carver and an even better person.

His pipes are works of art! I met him at the Chattanooga show, he's a great guy with a lot of talent!

Beautiful pipes guys, congrats!

IF I am not mistaken, he is also the creator of pipepedia
Just one of the nicest guys to talk to
Peck
You didn't even bring one pipe to de la concha!! SMOKIN cigars....man, I just give those stogies away to friends in my poker group. ( of which my wife does absolutely not let me forget!!

Beautiful pipe Peck, Big Van and Allan.!!!!!

I love his pipes.!!!!

One day.

 

[cigrmaster]

peck, another great looking Thile, I love how he does that shape and will be adding one one day. I am sure it will be a tremendous smoker for you. That grain is amazing and for what he charges for his straight grains, his prices are tough to beat. If that pipe was from a more well know name it would be over a grand for that kind of grain. Congrats on another beauty for the collection.

Peck, that is a beautiful pipe. That smooth straight grain is mesmerizing.

The pipe arrived today and it looks even better in person than it does in the pics. I am ecstatic. I was quite surprised that the pipe included a rather long note from Scott, about the pipe and other things. Great guy.

I missed this thread the first time around. That is a beautiful piece of work Peck. Congratulations. I will have to keep him in mind for a future pipe acquisition. The bent egg/brandy shape is currently one of my favorites. Well done!

Peck, great looking pipe from a great pipemaker. Also, Scott is super nice guy to talk to.
