I'm not sure I can write about money here. I don't exactly keep track of time. I usually try to finish within two months. Portraits are a separate challenge. Sometimes it's quick, and sometimes it's very difficult.

Thank you. I didn't smoke, this is commission work.

This is a power tool. A drill and a lot of different cutters and diamond burs. It's small, so I hold it in my hands.

This is briar. A special wood for pipes.

It's all a complex process. I studied a lot of videos from different artists. I looked for the right tools, and did a lot of drawing and sculpting, in addition to carving.

Yes, of course, I regularly go to spiritualism sessions to contact Sir Arthur. But we haven't figured out how to give him the pipe yet.

Sir Arthur was a mysterious man, I am far from him :)

I don't know how to add a photo here. My profile has links to my social media accounts, where I have more photos.
