This is a beautiful large freehand pipe with stunning cross grain on both sides of the bowl and along the shank. Plenty of birds eyes on the top and bottom of the shank into the bragain and natural Palteaux comb along the front of the bowl.
The pipe is fitted with hand cut Cumberland stem with black Acrylic flange and white Delryn tenon.
Apart from darkening the Plateaux there is no stain on the bowl and the finish is with Carnuaba wax only. The bowl is coated with my Charcoal/Pumice formula for extra protection and ease of break-in.
The pipe sits very comfotably in the hand, is light and well balnced considering its size. I am very pleased with this "Signature" pipe and will not mind smoking it myself :-)
Reviews
Jan, Years ago I started smoking churchwardens and when branching out made the amateur mistake of thinking that a good pipe had to be expensive to be good. So I got all these ornate briar pipes from big name carvers that I really couldn't tell you how bad they smoke. Then I got a cheap Karl Erik freehand and it has hardly left my hand when reaching for a pipe in 8 years. Nothing fancy, just a large, slightly ugly freehand, that smokes like a dream and fits really well. I bring this up because I think your pipe is even better. Not just in the looks, which are stunning, but in the way it fits my hand. It's like it was made for it. The perfect pipe for my hand, and well worth the price. I can't believe what a work you have created. It will be a favorite if not THE favorite for years to come and I am very grateful. Thanks Again, Steve Brogdon
