Very Cool Russian Pipes Including Shoe and Lizard

[wallbright]

Well I was checking Marty Pulvers website looking to purchase a new pipe when I started reading his home page update. He normally updates it with random things having to do with pipes and his life. Today was an interesting read about this Russian pipe website that someone sent him the link to. I thought I would share it with you guys because these pipes are utterly amazing. Some of these pipes literally made my jaw drop. Truthfully, it is impressive that they could even carve half of these pipes. The pipes range from classic shapes to very exotic ones. I thought you guys would enjoy viewing these pipes as much as I did. Here is the link, scroll down past the Russian paragraphs to see the galleries. Here are a few of my favorites.

Really amazing work on the iguana pipe. The "skin" looks so realistic... very nice.

how the artist got the wrinkles on the iguana pipe is amazing.

Oops I made a mistake and I believe the website is not in Russian but it is in French about Russian pipe makers. (I believe? haha).

Unfrigginbelievable :worship:

Once again, if you can think about a pipe design, it's been done already by somebody.

This one is fantastic. I know how hard briar is and how very brittle it can be.

 

[marmal4de]

The people who made these, must be freaking crazy, the detail, perfect grains, unique designs, and overall wow factor are beyond comprehension!

 

[pipetrucker]

Very interesting. Personally, I like the second one you posted. Very interesting design.

Fine Pipes all!

Those pipes are amazing. I wouldn't want to smoke an Iguanas tail but the craftsmanship is amazing.

 

[yoru]

Many of those are absolutely gorgeous

 

[krgulick]

Those are works of art needing to be put on a shelf and admired.

 

[patiobum]

Wow !!! What an imagination.

 

[gecko13]

Those are very impressive. I could never imagine smoking those, or if I did, very infrequent and only with the best plant material. Wonder what these go for...I could never afford one I'm sure.

Marty made it seem like they would go for a couple thousand. I thibk you can click the links and they might have some prices listed. I agree though they are out of my price range and I don't think I could ever bring myself to smoke it if I did own it haha.
