Alexandr Bondarev Pipes, St. Petersburg

[BriarBeagle]

Just thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge a very talented carver from St. Petersburg, Alexandr Bondarev. He produces some incredible work (IMHO), and I thought I'd share a recent acquisition through some photos (not the best quality). This pipe is even more beautiful in person. The workmanship and engineering are excellent. Hope you enjoy the pics...

On the 8th day... he created this pipe.... i would be terrified to smoke this pipe due to its beauty, but it'd be a damn sin not to

That is a stunning pipe!! I'm familiar with this superb pipe maker/carver, his work and craftsmanship is amazing :cheers: :cheers:
Enjoy your new acquisition for many years to come.

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
