Todd Bannard Oom Paul Commission

[bluegrassbrian]

You may know him as Sasquatch or BST Pipes. I didn't know nuts grew so far up in to Canada, but there he is.
A joy to work with the last month or so. He's been nothing but gracious in dealing with my hospital stay a couple weeks ago (and a fractured collarbone sustained just yesterday!), which has caused a slight financial trepidation.
Alaskanpipers cutty competition really turned me on to Todd's work - his cutty was my favorite among the dozen.

First of all, this bag. My god.


Almost didn't care what the pipe looked like. The bag is a winner.

So I wanted a full bent, tall and narrow chamber, cross cut, almost ridiculously bent jaw hanger.
Using some old #1 cross cut Mimmo he got from Adam Remington, I'd say it fits the bill.



Just need to figure out what to break it in with...

That is one impressive pipe! The shape and proportions kind of make it look like the photo is stretched then you realize it’s only the pipe. I bet it’s even more amazing in person.

That thing is awesome. I think I would only need half that chamber size.

 

[AroEnglish]

Chamber dimensions?

 

[Ahi Ka]

Chamber dimensions?

Judging from stuff in the background, the chamber looks to be the width of a sedan and the depth/height of a single story house.

Yup, Mr. Sasquatch makes nice stuff.

You must be quite a salesman to talk him into a big Oom Paul, though!

Here are my three BSTs, all typical of his preferred/typical style:

That's one of the loveliest Hungarian pipes I have ever seen! Congrats to both maker and now owner.

So, as usual, scale of pipes is often deceiving in photographs.
This shape just naturally looks "big" because they usually are, plus it's so tall and unconventionally narrow.

"Length" from bit to far edge is 2.88".
Height is 4.94".
Chamber is .71 x 2.35".

What a magnificent pipe.

 

[trudger]

Great idea and Sas pulled it off nicely. Very cool

 

[kcghost]

Truly a great looking Oom Paul!!

 

[captpat]

[daveinlax]

Very Impressive!

 

[crashthegrey]

He is so talented. That is as expected, yet still phenomenal.

Those are clearly counterfeit BST's @sasquatch uses way more glitter...

I like the bag!

I like the pipe! Quite unconventional in interesting ways!

For some reason, the sight of those pipes makes me want to sing songs from Fiddler on the Roof.

 

[jaingorenard]

That's a gorgeous pipe! Congratulations.

 

[scloyd]
