awsome eye candy pipes, one of a kind

Greetings from Central Kansas, USA, Nature designs it Ray Smith makes if functional

On behalf of Ray Smith, furniture artisan, we would like to submit 'Little TREE Pipes' for your consideration.

Primarily crafted from Osage Orange, these pipes are uniquely designed to allow smokers a number of solutions to commonly marketed clay, glass or metal pipes. First and foremost, these are unbreakable which saves heartache when you spend hard earned cash only to watch it shatter into bits.

Secondly, there is attention paid to the detail of cleaning your pipe after it becomes clogged. 'Little TREE' offers a convenient dual purpose hole which acts as a carburetor while toking, that easily becomes an available insert for a pipe cleaner.

Stash the detachable mouth piece into its own hidden slot

To more fully understand the craftsmanship involved we invite you to view his complete line of 'Natural TREE Furniture <http://www.naturaltreefurniture.com>' online.

Perhaps you yourself have an idea Ray could work with to suit your clients. Feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience via the email service on Ebay. We look forward to working with you.

May the Forest Be With You~
The team at 'Natural TREE Furniture' thanks you for your kind attention.
PEACE~
artists statement
I look for the balance between function and design in my artwork.  In the case of designing pipes I take into consideration the time it takes to build one and still have a quality product.  Symmetry is not my goal it should look like it is handmade, little imperfections, small inconsistencies, no two exactly alike.  I also like the idea of not buying material to create with.  If I can make it, find it, turn it into something else then that's what I will do.  In the case of the "Y" pipes the natural Y shape of the branch lends itself to pipes.  The two holes needed to connect the stem with the bottom of the bowl actually makes the pipe easier to clean and allows for control of airflow.  Even the mouth piece is detachable which allows people to use their own mouth piece and not transfer viruses.  They can be purchased separately.  Price is also a consideration. I cannot spend a few days building one pipe and expect someone to pay for all that production time.  So quick functional, attractive, durable are desirable.  That way I can offer them at a price people can afford.  These are simple works of art offered at a reasonable price.  If it was mass produced with every one being the same anyone could do it but then it wouldn't be art and everyone could own one.  With these pipes as with other works of art, you own a one of a kind creation.
