Well after a afternoon of Petanque & a dinner party Minagawa san & I headed to Robin for a pipe & pint. Upon arriving we found Ken sitting waiting for us and he proceeded to show us his latest pipes that he had made. One was a fantastic billiard shape with Ken's trademark colored stem plus this pipe had a nice ivory band as well, it was a custom order for a new member of our pipe club. The other pipe is kens first attempt at using some bamboo for a pipe stem extension and to make the bamboo look different he hand colored the bamboo using a Japanese laquer ware technique. As you can see from the above photo both pipes are fantastic.
