Both of these pipes were pieces that were requested by customers. I have been working commissions/requests like Tyler was doing. When a customer requests that I make a pipe, I give them the first right of refusal when the pipe is completed. That way, I am not holding the customer's money and they are not obligated to pay for a pipe if I miss the mark (in fact, this was my second attempt for both customers). So far, this method has been working well for my customers, my retailer, and me.
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them. They are on page two of my site, which can be accessed from the link below.
