Very cool! Your shapes are very Ben wade-ish

Your shaping is very organic. It looks as if they've been shaped by the action of wind and sea, like drift wood or abandoned shells. I'd be curious what happens to these shapes if they were left in the elements a decade or two longer and more wood was removed.

thanks guys. yeah i would agree that my work has organice undertones. i work in pottery and ceramics as well and the same has been said of that work. it would be an interesting experiment to expose one to the elments and see what happens. not sure i f i am ready to do that to one of my pices yet though. thanks for looking

It would be an interesting experiment, but I was speaking figuratively. Consider using your same vision and technique, but remove more briar. The pipes look a bit heavy for a clencher like me.

the one one the bottom is alittle big for a clencher for sure. it isnt too heavy buit not somthing you would want to walk around for more the a few mins in your mouth with. more a of a relaxing around the house pipe. the other too would make it ok clenched in the mouth. if i every get sandblasting equipment then i think i could really lighten pipes up. thanks for the comments
