Tonni Nielsen Wren

What do you think? A little too aerodynamic?

 

[mtpipe]

It looks like it's going to fly off the page!! LOL!! That's a beauty.

 

[lonestar]

Beautiful ! Tonni doesn't get enough respect over here.

Wow, incredible wood. I can see why the carver would want to carry that grain out to the max. Cutting it back to a conventional size would've been quite a loss. It's a museum piece.

 

[bentmike]

Nothing like a big expanse of stunning flame grain.

 

[tokerpipes]

That is a beautiful representation of grainwork.

Is this yours Adam?

Would love to see additional pics of all sides/aspects of this piece.

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

That is definitely an impressive pipe.

 

[adam12]

Nah it's not mine. I sure wish I could get a few more photos of it, it was the only one in the file sent to me.
Let me see what I can do...

 

[shaintiques]

Yeah I need to see the bowl angle on that one, its cool, definitely a head turner. I love it when guys use ther imagination.

 

[adam12]

Will take a few days to get additional pics because the lucky owner is out of town, but I'm intrigued as well and will post them as soon as I receive!

 

[shawn]

I like my pipe with a bit of style.

 

[hobie1dog]

He's the real deal, love his work.

 

[pipetrucker]

Not exactly my style, but fantastic grain.

 

[bigvan]

OK I need a judgement call... I collect N. American carvers, and though originally from Denmark, Tonni has lived in Kentucky for YEARS.
So can I buy one of his pipes?

 

[ssjones]

Sure can Bigvan! I'm definitely an enabler!

 

[bigvan]

That's all I needed to hear. Thank, Al!!

 

[uberam3rica]

It's an odd shape, but I love it! The grain just flows with the shape of the pipe! Simply stunning!

 

[adam12]

Okay so here are the pictures from different angles I promised.

I don't know, I have looked at this several times now. It just looks too much like a golf club.
