The Gregg Young Pipe

Gregg is a collector in Hawaii who contacted me based on his familiarity with Paul Perri. Gregg does not have web access, which made his pipe buying a little more challenging than usual. Fortunately, he enjoys vivid curves and fancy shapes, and I basically did this pipe on free reign for him. This was the second Signature Grade pipe I did. A point worth noting is that the twisting stem and shank "extension" are actually all one piece, carved from a rod, without inserting the shaped stem into a pre-turned ring. My love of shank fins that began with the first Signature Grade, the Elrond, continues here unabated.
