Western Mass/ Albany, NY Region Pipe Carvers?

[buck17]

Does anyone know of any pipe carvers in the Western Mass or Albany area? I'm going to check out a pipe club in Albany the first Wednesday of June that Russ suggested and ask there too.

Paul Bonaquisti was one of the top carvers years ago. IMO his Castello shapes were spot on and his blasts and Sea Rock like rustication were some of the best. 8O

Michael Addis is in that neck of the woods. Super guy too.
