Lee Von Erck Commission

Subject: Lee Von Erck Commission Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:37 pm

In October, I asked Lee to make a pipe for me. I saw one that he made several years ago and really liked it. I wanted a spiral shanked pipe of his. So I commissioned one and today I received an e-mail from Lee that he was finished with the pipe. I can't wait for the delivery.

Oh My! That is sure to please. Very Happy

I have a TSPTC forum pipe from 2006 with a similar bowl. The deep craggy work on that bowl has to be seen to be believed.

Great pipe, Bob. That spiral stem sure is appealing. Is the bowl a blast? I've never seen anything like it.

That blast and spiral combination is striking. I've always wondered how von Erck achieves such a perfect spiral. Yours is yet another example of one.

Great piece, Bob. Congratulations and I wish you many years of enjoyment.
