Pipe Racks
I've noticed that most of the racks out there are pretty mundane. Either walnut or oak, some cherry. A guy puts ogee edges on and thinks it's fancy. I've made a couple racks for myself. I just used scrap spanish cedar I had laying around. After alot of thought I think I have a design that's good looking and simple. Do you guys have pipe racks? Do most pipe smokers? Ya think there might be a market for exotic wood racks like cocobolo or blood wood? I'm wondering because compared to vintage humidors, pipe racks are easy.

I’m generally dissatisfied with the majority of pipe racks I’ve seen. I have one that I do like and use ... a simple, mid-century-modern design in walnut that I picked up on ebay. I certainly would like to see more variety in materials and design. As far as racks currently on the market, I like Synjeco’s Pipe Tree and a lot of the work by Two Cousins.

I have a cabinet that I want to convert to display my pipes -- basically need rack or racks to go inside it.
If you are interested in giving it a go; I will shoot you some pictures and measurements when I get back home. LMK - BUD

I have several stands but one that I like the most is a round stand that holds six pipes and has a glass jar in the middle. I need to dig around and find the pics I took of it.

I have one that I bought from BroozerMD. It's ok, the pipes don't rest in it too well, though. It's got some age on it, but no jar.

Search ebay for "pipe racks". There are some unique looking old antiques from time to time. There are also some newer made racks from time to time. Might be a place to start marketing.
I've got a hanging pipe rack but it's full. I do need a larger rack that will hold larger freehands. My larger Karl Erik freehands won't fit in standard racks. |
