This is a giant Brandy made for a customer in Quebec, it is a bruiser weighing in at 4.6 oz. (129 gr) Steve likes only large pipes, this is his third all with different looks. This brandy has my “Matisse” look with accent treatments of Masur Birch. It is a large handful with a great feel.

All finished and ready to be mailed to it’s new home in Cody, WY

This is a new rustication I call “Matisse” it takes lots of time and work, but well worth it. This will be a black beauty that will be completed in a couple days. Check back for the finished look.

Well! all completed, what do you think. It’s ready to be shipped to its new owner Monday.

I just completed this Canadian for a client, I didn’t think I would care for the color combination much, was I fooled. I love it! Different and interesting, I will be making more with this color combination for sure … thanks Gary.
