From the pages of Jack's website this amazing pipe, I'd list Jack with the top pipe carvers without hesitation.

That birdseye is so tight it looks like a Pleco's flesh. Pretty wild.

I've been thinking about it and I wouldnt be insulted one bit if someone gifted this pipe to me.
Really!

Aw, that pipe wouldn't hold a candle to my old Dr. Grabow, (it would hold a blowtorch on it!). Awesome grain. I wonder how much of that a carver sees before they begin, and/or how much "pops out" as they carve into the block?
