Nate King Pipe Mid-Contrast Ring Blast Racing Apple with Bamboo

Webs of straight grain and deeply distinctive rings engulf this low slung and british tan blasted apple from Nate.  Harnessed to a bent piece of aggressively noduled bamboo, the reverse taper of the shank blossoms with ripples of rounded knuckles reverberating up the shank into a masterfully balanced bend.  Artfully topped with a nautical blue stem of ebonite and punctuated with a rounded cookie jar saddle, the concert of color, finish, texture, and detail form a dynamic symphony, mastefully performed with every detail.  Well sized with enough room in the chamber to easily cover the majority of preferences for taste and tobacco, this imaginative sculpture is underbent to ride comfortably low when easily clenched.  Terrifically unique, this handmade piece of smoking instrument hits all the right notes.
