Looks like he's continuing Larrysson's signature shape/finishing since the later retired.

Wow! Don’t cut yourself on those sharp edges! Great-looking piece...
This is made by the GH Zhang workshop and was designed by Abe Herbaugh. You can read about them here. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/GH-Zhang/
I'm going to smoke it a few times this week and do a little review of the pipe in its own thread because this seems like a really interesting idea and looks well-executed on first blush.

I like very organic aesthetics in addition to traditional shapes. I swing wildly on aesthetics.

Picked up this Royal Comoy's Supreme Patent 30 after seeing it in the background for another listing. It will still need a ton of work on the stem, but I couldn't resist cleaning up the bowl and getting it looking nicer...It is going to be a real looker when done. Based on what I found on Pipedia this pipe looks to be from the late '40's, but if someone knows something I don't, please speak up. This one will be put up for sale or trade...
The 264 is a great smoker, I have one or two. It will serve you well, and knowing Jim smokes one makes it even better,

I just grabbed one of Eric Mills “SAMHAIN” cobs although mine may be a slight different than this one pictured but the orange honeycomb stem is what matters most to me. 
That looks great. It's briar made to look like a cob?

While I was out on errands, my most recent purchase arrived. It's a Comoy's Blue Riband, 1/2 bent, medium billiard, in most excellent condition, possibly smoked only once or twice, if at all.

Today’s mail: 2 ounces of TK-6, 2 ounces of PS303, and a Randy Wiley “Old Oak” bent Dublin. The pipe is a substantial size (most of my Wileys are, but this one’s exceptionally bigger) and at 7.6 inches long definitely into demi-churchwarden territory. But, despite the size it’s really lighter than it looks and easily clenchable (for me anyway) and a most interesting overall shape with multiple elements. The bowl is a Dublin for sure, but also has a plateau top (Danish inspired?) and a view from the top reveals a squished oval shape like a Savinelli 904 / 921 that they add to a Dublin (Italian inspired?). The shank is round and in proportion to a Lovat in length along with a saddle stem (Canadian family). And the acrylic stem most definitely resembles the Dunhill Cumberland coloring. It’s like Randy pulled in different international inspirations while he was making this thing, but to me it all seems to pull together nicely (I do like quirky unique pipes for sure). The overall shape (to me) leans towards a bent Dublin / Lovat style, so perhaps a “Bent Dovat”? Anyway, I like it and await a bit cooler weather in a few days to start putting some HGL / Ghost of Frog Morton / Edward G Robinson’s through it. I added my Zippo for perspective in the photo. Also, I seem to have acquired a grove of “Old Oaks” at this point, how many trees before it’s considered a forest?
