Welcome to the forum.

You have some very classy designs.

From where do you get your briar?

Hello George,

Welcome to the forum!

Nice pipes, very cool shapes! Great work, keep it up.

Once again, welcome!

Welcome from Germany, too.

I like those triangular stems. Something I must try in the future.

I am a bit puzzled by the "upward" bent of most of the mouthpieces. Seems they won't make no clenchers…

Have fun around here and whatever you do!

Thank you all

I don’t know is this a classy designs (but thanks) but I like them. I made these pipes with ambition to be very comfortable in hand and in mouth and they are with differences of coarse.
I am not sure about the weight they must be around 40- 50g maximum each and less than 14 cm. long. 19.5 mm conical tobacco chamber @ 37 mm deep, 4 mm draft hole. The mouthpieces are from Cumberland rods, less than 4 mm thickness at the button.
Briar is from Mark Tinsky!
Thanks to alexanderfrese for note about the mouthpieces and stems. Triangular shank/stem gave me the possibility to drill the air hole in very different angle from the mortise and to make an little air capsule in the shank. And for ‘upward’ bent – they are not upward, they are actually straight but the form and the size of the mouthpiece make this mouthpieces to be very comfortable and balanced in the mouth. This is my theory of coarse .
Today I will post my new pipe. It is a horn, plateau and hand cut vulcanite half saddle stem.
