Recently i have acquired some thousands of briar plateau and ebauchons all around the mediterranean sea.Here are some of the pipes i carved in the last weeks.Rusticated are made with Grecian and Spanish briar, Straight grains with Italian briar (Calabrian,Ligurian,Tuscan).The first has an olive tree insert.The last one The volcano is made by walnut and has a briar insert

That's all Folks!

I like the bottom two. Very nice, bet they smoke good also. I really like the second from the bottom. Wish I had more PAD to spend.

[pentangle]

Thank you for the comment BB but thank you a lot for the correct italian!

Siete i benvenuti. La mia famiglia e dalla Sicilia. I do not know much Italian, but it is next on my asperations of learning, once I finish my degree in teaching.

 

[pentangle]

Well i have a degree in modern literature especially in north american literature.But I do not know much English and the american language is also different.So im' like an elephant in a crystal store.I'm trying to do my best

Mille grazie per mostrare questo !
Nice work Pentangle. I especially like #4 with the translucent stem. Is it Perspex ? I'm a sucker for special stems.

Also like that little bent pot in number #5. Nice proportions on that one and it looks like it would sit great in my hand :rofl:

The third preferred would be #7, although I have never really been a fan of square bowls, this one somehow seems to pull it off with the birdseye on the rim.
Excellent work ! Che bel lavoro !! ;-)

 

[pentangle]

The festival of Italian language! I really appreciate guys Thank you !
The stem is transparent lucite but i think could be called perspex guess is the same

Love the second from the bottom, I sadly, have no Italian to share. It is my favorite country I have ever visited though, I lived with some extended family for about a month. Beautiful country, nice people, great food. It sure would be a wonderful place to live

 

[sorringowl]

Nice work! Bellissima! Always nice to see work by pipemakers! I love the Italians! Some of the best pipemakers in the world!

 

[koalamonster]

These pipes are all amazing. I would have a very hard time just picking one. They are all uniquely beautiful.

I do not know if there is an Italian translation, but in English "Outstanding works of art".. :clap:

 

[aussielass]

Stunning as always, as close to perfect as perfect can be, but, "my" blue piece of artistry will always reign supreme in your repertoire in my eyes
LOL I even went out & bought some blue dye to renovate one of mine & call it "My Maurizio".

 

[terry]

Once again you have made some great looking pipes!

 

[martin]

I'd be proud to own any (or all!) of those pipes. Beautiful works of art.
