I never liked any rack maker product that insisted on storing pipes of different shapes bowl down. Antique chair side racks holding several pipes in my collection have larger holes and all my pipes are placed stem down. Maybe the stem down racks went out with the decline of clay pipes. Also there is a plus of having any excess gunk drain into the easy clean stem .

I bought a beautiful cut bourbon barrel holder. It screws onto a wall. However I will restate someone's post above.... its just asking for a broken pipe..... I broke one of my favorite churchwardens stem from the shank. It broke off and not repairing. Just tossed it away. I do like the case that holds multiple pipes though.

My first rack, I picked up one of these off of Etsy, and the guy said he wasn’t making any more, so I paid a local carpenter to make two more. He passed recently, and I need someone to make me a full wall display with glass doors.

I still have other racks. One for my bamboos…

One for my Nording Valhallas and my French pipes…

But, I still have two drawers just piled with pipes… and, some just laying about the house, cabin, and studios.

I make all of mine and do commission work. The black one was a commissioned job for a guy. The rest are for my ever growing pipe collection.
