I did a custom band and cap for a Skip Elliot pipe.
One of my custom drip pipes. This one has silver infused quarts as the stone in the band.
Dan Chlebove of Gabrieli Pipes, bluesmoke on here, made this one for me.
My Stefano
I customized this one with a band, new stem, and an opal inserted into the shank. It was originally made by Chacom.
This was my first custom pipe I did with the silver drip band. The stummel if from a box of very, very old French stummels Skip at The briary sold me years ago.
My sexy Ardor Giant on a rabbit fur blanket.
My Tinsky. There is a long story that goes with this pipe, but I have posted it so many times on here, that the older member will get tired of it, ha ha.
My Becker Rhodo. He had it labelled a Danish Scoop, but I think it fits better into a Rhodesian category.
Another one of those French stummels that I got from The Briary. I made the stem and band for it and did the rustication.
My Viprati
Another French stummel from The Briary that I did an 18k drip, and I made the stem.
Originally a Ropp, but I did the opal insert and remade a new stem that better fit my clench. I HATE a fat stem.
This was made by a former moderator here, Zach Hamric. I really liked the distorted bulldog characteristics.
The Viprati
I'll get more pics rounded up and posted soon.
