Nording Freehands

[Kentos]

So. I went from looking for a Neerup Churchwarden, to looking for a Nording Churchwarden, or a Nording Freehand and purchasing a Churchwarden stem for it. Can you guys post pics of your Freehands? They don’t seem to be prevalent here at B&B, and frankly to me some look like they were carved with an ugly stick. Despite that I find them attractive and would like to see what your gents have.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of freehand shapes. I do however own a Tinsky freehand. I'll try and remember to post a pic tonight when I get home!

Have a ginormous Ben Wade (big Elmore Leonard and 3:10 to Yuma fan) freehand with the normal sized black acrylic stem. No idea where it is right now but will look for it. Probably would be a decent shape for a Churchwarden stem..

I have a couple of classic freehands. One a Nording, the other a T.C. Fuller

That signature is nice. Seem the shapes are so random I have a hard time finding the right one.

They can be very random, so finding the one that speaks to you can take a while of just watching inventory as it cycles through. The ones I have seen are all pretty large bowls, not sure how well they'd translate to churchwarden stems.

I have a Knute. It would be fine with a Churchwarden stem. Huge bowl. I've reamed it and salt treated it but it still smells of aromatics.

This is a Bari that I inherited from my father in law.

This is a Soren I bought at an antique store in PA.

Nice!

Nice!

I love it. The bowl is absolutely huge though so I need to set aside a while to smoke it.

No Nordings, but I do have a Boswell and Stanwell Freehand purchased new in 94. Some my first high end pipes.

Here is a pic of my 92 Tinsky freehand. It’s the only one I own.
