Mark Tinsky is not only a consummate pipe maker but one who is open to new ideas as well.   Mark was very interested in the original artwork for Argo, or the pipe of Ulysses, but wasn't satisfied with how the pipe turned out. On the contrary, I'm extremely pleased with it: one of my best smoking pipes.

I call it Norse; Mark calls it Wild; but whatever it's called, it was my first 3D pipe in which I figured out how to place grain direction.
