Vintage collection

[brunonut]

Hi,

In my desire to find special finishes that are not seen elsewhere, and have some pipes a personal touch, I thought about creating pipes to look a bit vintage, all smooth, ebonit or acrylic amber stems, and an old ring chiseled. I use pre-turned stummels for this serie. Here is the result
Thank you for your comments and for your opinions !

I think they look nice Bruno.
Maybe call them Vintage Style or Classic Style or something along those lines? From the title I was expecting to see actual old pipes instead of new pipes with retro styling. Just my $0.02. Beautiful pipes though, I especially like the ebonite stem. I don't like acrylic stems (personal preference) and when buying new, vulcanite is one of my criteria.

Very nice

@ Torque : indeed, you have maybe right on this semantic detail

Very small critique my friend. Very beautiful work.

Those are all pipes I would be proud to smoke! Beautiful.

I think I fell in love with the middle pipe in the second picture. What do you call that?

Extremely convincing pipes. A fine job well done. I personally find the rings too ornate, but hey that's just me.

I don't like acrylic stems (personal preference) and when buying new, vulcanite is one of my criteria.

I'm a big fan of the durability and low maintenance of acrylic stems(personal preference).

@dottiewarden : I understand that some people don't like the rings, it's... special and very ornamental indeed
@randelli : I don't know, a mix between pear and Apple maybe :D

Second picture, bottom pipe just stole my heart. Wow!

Those are fantastic.

 

[aristokles]

Stunning. There is not a single one that I would not buy.

I think those pipes are totally magnificent... absolutely splendid! And I really like the ornamentation... makes it kind of seem like 19th century men's club material! Anyways, my sincerest compliments!

I was going to ask that, good eye.

Beautiful work, Bruno. Magnifico!
How 'bout "Plum" for the new shape?

 

[newbroom]

The finishes match nicely with the stems and the metal work contrasts perfectly, making a very handsome combination.

Too fancy for this old laborer, but I respect their presentation.

They fantastic work, they are all great looking pipes. I especially like the middle pipe down in the top photo.

 

[mothernaturewilleatusallforbreakfast]

Very good looking pipes. The chiseled rings are a nice touch.

 

[swhipple]

Wow!! Those pipes are excellent Bruno. I think you have really captured the look and feel of older pipes with the ornate trim rings and the amber colored stems. If you told me they were made in 1910 and you just restored them, I would believe you.

Nice work!! I thought they were vintage before I read your entire post. That bent billiard in the first photo is tops.
