Hello Leslie,
Thank you for your warm welcome to your pipe forum.
I have been pondering how to respond to your inquiry. I'm a bit confused about how a third party's opinion of a pipe dealer's behavior would cause "negative buzz" about my work. I have no control over what another person thinks.
For the record, I have no problem with receiving constructive criticism of my work. I am always willing to learn.
Having said that, when the dealer started telling me I needed to develop my own style, I realized that he was not very familiar with American pipe makers, or maybe just not with me or my work. I have been told by collectors for quite a few years that they can spot a Rad Davis pipe "from across the room". Anyone who makes a lot of pipes will naturally develop their own style, and I have made a lot of pipes. I enjoy a pretty solid reputation, I think. 
I did not find the dealer's comments ridiculous, nor was I offended. I was, however, bemused when he told me that I seemed to be copying Mr. Poul Ilsted's work. I am not that familiar with Mr. Ilsted's work, other than I know he makes fantastic paneled pipes, which I don't make at all.
I hope this clarifies my feelings about the matter for you.
Happy Smoking!
Rad
Leslie 您好,
感謝您熱誠的歡迎.
為了答覆您我思考了很久.
我不了解為什麼一個第三者對這整件事的見解會為我在中國做了負面的宣傳.
我無法控制他人的想法做法.
我很樂意接受有見地的批評,因為我一向在我的工藝上追求進步.
話說回來,在那位斗商說我需要開發,並做出我個人的斗型特色時,我當下直接的想法是也許他對美國製斗人的作品不甚了解,又或許是他對我的作品不甚了解.
這幾年我常聽到收藏家說他們"老遠就看得出瑞德戴維斯的煙斗”.一個不斷在作斗的人會在製斗的過程中找到自己的特色,而我做了不少煙斗,也自認為我多少做出了被斗友們認同的屬於我自己的特色.
那位斗商給我的評語不讓我覺得很荒謬,也不覺得被冒犯.
不過當他說我似乎在抄襲 Poul Ilsted 先生的斗型時這樣的評論讓我很困惑.
我對 Ilsted 先生的作品不是很有研究,不過我知道他做了很多很美的多面斗,而那種設計的煙斗我從沒做過.
我希望我很清楚的為您表達了我對這件事的看法.
抽斗愉快!
瑞德 |

. I think sooner or later he'll think of it differently.
