Whose Got a Nice Sandblast?

[ssjones]

Like JP, Harris just picked up two BST blasts that I was very impressed with.
Here's that Cooke my buddy is looking to sell, the blast is incredible.

Sorry guys. I didn't realize BST and Sasquatch were one and the same.

I think Luciano has some good affordable blasts.
Mine for $108 (smoking black house in it right now!)

Also, Radice's silk cut are good ones too. (I just bought a silk cut apple)
All of the above are awesome as well

What most people do not realize is that Mark Tinsky has his pipes blasted by Rad Davis and Mike Linder. The one posted by Dochudson, looks like a Rad blast.
I am of course partial to Rad Davis, but also like Ruthenberg, Weaver, Thile and Butera. I am on the fence about Cooke's, to me they look almost too severe and kind of manipulated not really following the grain. I also like the looks of Michael Parks and of course our own Sasquatch for our brothers to the north.
Al, that Cooke is not as severe as many I have seen, I like that one.
Here is my favorite Rad Blast.

Wow, I didn't realize that. I wonder who did my Apple? It's pretty deep.

 

[cigrmaster]

Al, not sure. If I had to guess it would be Linder.
Gray, that is a great looking blast especially for what you paid.

A crazy blast from Bannard, guess what the grain must have looked like to get a vertical line like this?

A couple of Twin Bore Radices

Some of you may know my quirky love for the zulu shape. My most recent acquisition was a zulu by Rad, and I love the blast:

 

[cigrmaster]

Peck, that one is cool, I still need to add a Rad Zulu to the collection.

 

[jpberg]

That's a terrific pipe.

I love that Rad zulu. I was thiiiis close to buying a black Rad zulu on SmokingPipes, but it was gone next morning.
Next time I see a Rad like that, I'm all over t!
@Cigarmaster, I was pretty impressed with that Luciano too! Especially at that price. Very fun to hold

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Uh, Gray, please forgive me, but I think I got that Rad zulu as well. I have a black one, a dark brown/red one and this caramel one. The only one I didnt get from Rad directly was the black one (a month or so before Christmas).

 

[tbradsim1]

Jberg that Bannard or the first pipe in your pics is one handsome pipe, I have a couple of Twin Bore Radices that have a nice blast like yours. The old cajun

 

[flmason]

Also consider Perry White. Most of his pipes are blasted.

I just want you all to know that I hate you all. Carry on. :crying:

Yeah, I think so! Lol!! I considered it for a second, but I think I decided I didnt want to drop that much on one pipe (at the time). It was a steal though!! I'll have you know, next one is mine ::
You have excellent tastes in pipes

 

[brewshooter]

I'm not necessarily that big of a zulu fan normally, but that Rad zulu is frickin' spectacular!!!

 

[cigrmaster]

jpberg, I missed yours somehow. The Sas is great I can imagine what a straight grain would have been. Radice has always done a great job with their blasts, those are great looking.
