Don't know why you can't see it...but below is the link to his site where you can see all that are available.
EDIT: I have no idea why it says "security measure" but it's the correct link.

Below are a couple of examples of his carving abilities. To be fully appreciated you would need to go to the pages and see all of the pics from all angles.

The holes and airways of the pipes vary depending on the shape and size of pipes and their size generally change between 2 mm and 4,5 mm. Likewise, sizes of the pipes’ bowls change. Bowls are covered with beeswax in order to protect and render them long lasting.

Great stuff. Amazingly creative designs, and he finishes his pipes, like the European carvers did. Wonder why the other Turkish carvers stop short, even on simple designs?Below are a couple of examples of his carving abilities.

Yanik is an amazing carver, but I've heard of some issues with his stem/mortise and draw on some of his pipes. I have a large straight apple of his, and it has a great draw, even after I broke it. 
The pipe pictured isn't one of his best carvings, but he has plenty of others that are fantastic. I've always appreciated his work.

Idk about your last statement. You’d be surprised how many freaky women you come across that outwardly are the ‘prim and proper’ type
The outer carving is good anyway. His drilling often leaves a lot to be desired.
