Nate King Pipe 413 Racing Shield with Bamboo

The color profile on this Nate King Racing Shield, with its 4 knuckles of clean bamboo, red contrasted finish, and purple stem, is a testament to Nate's personal advice of don't just be a smoker - do it loud and proud!  Unflinchingly bold, yet like most of Nate's work, subtle and inspired.  Each line and surface is expertly crafted to keep the momentum moving from the tip of the button down the shank of nodule dyed bamboo, through the transition, and up through the top of the rim's front quarter.  Much like a downhill skier just as the skis leave the ramp for that long pause of air and flight.  Dramatic and only attempted by the experts.
