Roy--
I realize that Pennsylvania isn't very close to Kentucky, but just the
same wish to recommend the work of Mark Tinsky to you. You can send
Mark a sketch along with other specifications; in fact, he invites
customers to design their own pipes. You can choose the quality of the
briar, stain color, type of bit, etc., etc.
Mark just made a gorgeous oversized Canadian for me to my
specifications. Not only does he do beautiful work, but in a fairly
short time, too. It took only two weeks from the time I sent him my
specs. to receive the pipe from him.
Find out more on Mark's Web page: http://AmSmoke.com
Good luck in your quest for a custom pipe.
