The Big Five of Africa

[PipesByDesign]

This is the craziest project I've completed so far, although an AR-15 (http://pipesbydesign.com/ar15) pipe is right up there. This is the Big Five animals of Africa, which are allegedly the most dangerous to hunt since they're more likely to hunt you than the other way around.

A full gallery is up for viewing on my website: http://pipesbydesign.com/the-big-five

Super nice carving job.... The Elephant is my favorite followed by the water buffalo... but all are nice

Cool!
I generally don't like figurative carving on pipes, but these definitely show a lot of work and skill was put in making them. The Africa-shaped stand made of smaller stands for each pipe is awesome.

Thanks!

I find more pleasure in making off the wall pipes versus the traditional designs, and since most of you do a way better job at those I figured I'd find my niche in the fringe.

Cheers!
