Photo's 1, 5, 12, 14, 15, and 27 were of interest, with the finish of #'s 1, 5, or 14 being favorable for a agreed upon nosewarmer.

With that in mind, Jake Hackert sounds like a reasonable choice and he can be found here:

I know Boswell' could produce these for us for around $100 - $115, but they are not taking these type of orders. They produce an excellent pipe for this price bracket.

The other person to look at would be Mark Tinsky. I think he's a bit overpriced and may not want to get involved in making a simple pipe for us. I could be wrong, but it will be interesting to see what he would charge us for a group buy.

That's just my 2 cents. The nosewarmer sounds great and it would be nice to have one bent.

I like the idea of a bent nosewarmer as well and 1 and 5 are my favorites off that series.
