This curving piece has a bold character that is pronounced with beautiful grain. Deep crimson highlights both bird's eye and straight grains of opposing panels, which are then further accented by a geometric surface rustication curling along the shank. The stem is handmade of black Ebonite and this pipe has good airflow and passes a cleaner.
