Rad Davis Pipe Canted Billiard

Rad Davis
Canted Billiard

About the maker:
Rad Davis met Mark Tinsky several years ago in the internet when he was in need of a pipe repair. When Davis expressed an interest in trying to make a pipe, Tinsky was more than helpful. Rad learned to cut and drill pipes and turn tenons on stems, and soon he became a respected pipe carver himself. All his pipes are freehands, made from the same high quality Grecian Briar used by Mark Tinsky ("American Pipe"). There are no fills in his pipes. Some may have small flaws, but they are not hidden, and they are priced accordingly. All Rad Davis Pipes employ vulcanite stems that are either factory made, or are hand cut from German Ebonite Rod Stock. Pipes with hand cut stems are indicated as such and are priced slightly higher, due to the required extra labor. Factory made stems are opened at the button end, so that they will pass an extra fluffy pipe cleaner.
