[QUOTE="Dock, post: 17394, member: 33"] Because it's so MUCH more than that Mark! The "American Style" is unique and set apart from anything else that's being done. If you think of an English pipe your mind likely travels to the classic/standard shapes produced by Dunhill and Ashton. If you think of the Danish style you likely think of stellar grain,bamboo shanks and the canted egg made by Jess Chonowitsch,S.Bang and Poul Ilsted. Japan has it's own aesthetics too. Generally their pipes are more organic in nature and take cues from the Danes without copying them outright. The Americans have their own distinct style as wll. A quick look on the websites of Jeff Gracik,Will Purdy,Rad Davis,Skip Elliott and Jack Howell for a few examples show it at it's best. It's a movement., not just a general term used to describe American men who carve pipes.... Best, D.P. [/QUOTE]
