Very distinctive rendition of the wax drip. :clap:

That's a beauty. Cook is one of a handful of carvers with the skill to carve a great wax drip, the others being Cannoy, Larryson and Fillenwarth, and Larryson has retired.

Wowz. That's Wild! Iiii LIKE IT!! Far different from my Caminetto/Ascorti New Dears, but that appeals to me!

Luck on you!

I just got my wax drip tamper in the mail last week from him. Nothing but quality if you like that look (and I do).

Holy Jesus! Amazing craftsmanship. Funky as hell. How do you hold the thing?

Gorgeous pipe, that is some extraordinary workmanship. Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks for all the nice comments, smoked well from the start and by bowl 3 it is great!
Holding is interesting in that your brain seems to find the hold points and by halfway through the first bowl my fingers found a comfortable position and I nearly forgot about it being different to holding a standard pipe.

Very nice. Reminds me a bit of one of fishnbanjo's pipes. I'll see if this demented search function will let me find it....

Actually when fishnbanjo posted photos of several of his wax drip pipes about a year ago I asked him who made one particular pipe and it was Russ Cook. Really sad that banjo is not with us anymore, he is well remembered by us all though. I was on that other forum for more than 10 years and really valued his input.
