Notes: Often cited as America's most innovative and individualist young carver. Currently, his pipes are not easy to get.

Comments: For those wondering whether pipes can be 'art', a look at Cannoy's more unconventional shapes may settle the issue. You get the impression that Walt doesn't simply aim to please, but to 'say'. The pipe shown here is more conservative, yet still very fundamentally a Cannoy. Admittedly, I find it hard to put my finger on the style element that makes this so.
