Nate King Pipe 390 Ring Blast Dublin with Bakelite
Item # NK172263Sold Out
Details
One of the most prolific carvers to surface to the top tier of artisan pipe making in the last decade, Nate King gets a lot of deserved credit and accolades for his contributions to the canon of shapes, introducing themes of steampunk and gearheads, and working with materials not often seen in the wider landscape of art pieces. In addition to all of that he is one of the best when it comes to coaxing the wood through the art of sandblast and finishing techniques, like this jewel in a tan blast with not just rings, but remarkably distinct ridges of ring growth and straight grain. A six sided shank with a brilliant blue stem that just oozes with sensual bend all spell out a piece that will turn heads from any school of design. Another great calling card of Nate's is his buttons - trumpeted and truly sculpted for comfort and function.
