So, anyone else drawn to the pipes of Wallenstein? Tarrock Briar? Revyagin? some of Nate King's steam and gear punk stuff? D.M. pipes? Abi Natur?
As I am progressing in my pipe making I am hearing from a number of people that I need to practice the traditional shapes, that I need to do my training on them. That I need to make 25 billiards, and 25 bulldogs ECT. Maybe that is the way to go, but man, I am totally drawn to these crazy out of the box designs.
For me I am more about the art of pipe making than the craftsmanship of it. Now, I understand that it is the craftsmanship that creates practical pipes. I have no interest in making non functional wooden sculptures. But when you get past putting and air hole and a tobacco chamber... I want to go where I like.
And to be honest... I kinda prefer to smoke "exotic" looking pipes too, but then I have always been an attention whore
