I Spend Up To 250 Hours Hand-Carving Pipes Inspired By My Favorite Movie Characters

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Sidrit Vaqari. I’ve been sculpting and making pipes for 18 years now. Every epic character inspired me to carve this kind of pipes but Lord of the Rings & the Hobbit are my favorites. I love Gandalf!

So Gandalf is my inspiration… I put all my works on my Instagram account so you can check them out there.

More info: Instagram

It took me about 250 hours to finish this epic character smoking pipe

It’s made from a block of briar wood which is 50 years old

It is a very strong wood… The older, the stronger

So I turned it into a Smaug pipe and I used only knives to carve this wood

After a month of work, the pipe is almost completed

It was a really difficult character!

Finally completed, added a black arrow for tamper to put tobacco into the pipe

Sidrit, I would love to include you in my online gallery for arts, as what you are doing is pure art. Take a look at the website at www.artsynature.com and contact me through the e-mail there. So far I have included more than 80 amazing artists and my favorite ones are the young talents who are not famous yet. Good luck and thanks for sharing your artworks with us! :)

These are wonderful, but I think you should make something other than pipes, as you don't want to encourage people to smoke.

Does the smoke go through the dragon's nostrils when you smoke the pipe? That'd be cool! :D

My Father is in his mid 70's and smoked pipe for most of his life. I would really like to get one of these for his birthday. Where would I go to do so? Thanks

You should carve out the best hero character in the Witcher series novels. Geralt would be a great challenge for you. Great polish novel as well as it being a western icon now
