Kesling Custom Briar Pipes

I met Donald Kesling for the first time at the 2009 Chicagoland Pipe Show. Once in a while, you see a piece that you know was yours all along. That is how it was with Elephant Ears, which is now lovingly placed in my regular rotation. Every section of this bizarre beauty morphs into something new making the entire piece a masterfully executed collage. Donald is relatively new to the pipe making scene, and with his use of out of the ordinary color, fantastical shapes and sincere dedication to craftsmanship, I would heartily suggest viewing his work and scooping some wonder for yourself right away.
