Honestly... wish those photos were better. Not really giving me a good idea of the shape, but knowing Mark's work it'll possible be somewhere between great and fantastic?

The Tan Blast on the first link and the two Mortas are really catching my eye though, but I like to keep my Tinsky's bulldogs!

Still don't own a Tinsky. I do like some of what I see from him. Maybe I'll squeeze the trigger someday.

Mark makes solid pipes for a good price, but yes his website isn't the latest and greatest.
But show me a carver that maintains a fancy website/shop? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I have never found one. True though, he could definitely include measurements. That's an undeniably important part of buying/choosing a pipe. I bet he'll send specs if asked.

Nice pipes but I am left scratching my head over what makes them Christmas pipes?

What, you want it to be green and red, with a stem made from genuine reindeer antler, and play "Joy to the World" every time you light it?
As another forum member put it, during the Peterson Christmas 2021 pipe discussion, it's nice to have a pipe that you'll smoke all year round instead of just during the week or two we're all feeling jolly.

But really, the answer to your question is that Mark engraves them with "Christmas" underneath.

Oh it's not a complaint it's just somewhat perplexing. Though if a pipe could do that joy to the world thing it be highly cool and then super duper annoying.
And fun fact Ms. Pac-Man was actually a mod made by some college students and Atari bought it from them. Because it's basically Pac Man but better.
