RE: Rad Davis - 2

Hallo zusammen,

kommen ich mal zurück auf die eigentliche Arbeit in diesem Forum, dem weiteren Ausbau des Bilderbuches, wie die Ketzer gerne behaupten.

Hier mal einige Bilder von Rad's Pfeifen, die er auf facebook zeigt...

Seems like pipes of the Liverpool variety are far and few between. That's kind of a shame once you've the opportunity to see just how gorgeous they can be. Take this piece by American pipe maker Rad Davis for example. From the modestly sized and handsomely turned bowl to the round, pencil shank stem, this pipe is just perfectly proportioned and excellently balanced. Especially considering the stem, which is here just a hair longer than what one would expect generally from your classic Liverpool. In this instance, particularly because of the way the bit fishtails, I think the lengthy stem adds wonderful character to the piece. The high contrast stain Rad favors here shows off some killer flame grain.
