COMMENT:
This pipe has so much going on that it is very hard to keep this comment concise; I promise to keep it brief, though. First of all, the shape description doesn't even come close to doing the pipe justice, and this is primarily because of the shank, the wood extension, and the mouthpiece. As you can see, the shank is square, with varying length and height, the wooden extension shows both wonderful grain and a very elegant stain, and finally, the mouthpiece is handcut, black acrylic in the good old fashioned Army Mount style. The most stunning aspect of this pipe, though, is not the shape. It's the blast. As you can hopefully see from the picture, Massimiliano did an unbelievably good jobs with the blasting. The grain has managed not only to show but actually to scream at you and to show itself off. It's a huge pleasure to both look at and feel the grain. To sum up, I just have to tell you that this is as impressive a sandblasted pipe that you can possibly get in this wonderful material. |
