Tim West Bent Volcano (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Tim West became a full time pipe carver in 1975, and has remained a mainstay of American carving ever since. He carves his pipes exclusively from Grecian briar, and his shape repertoire is about a broad as any carver out there. In the case of this unsmoked bit of briar-goodness, the shape is a conservative volcano body, that is paired with a fascinating shank that features the subtlest hint of taper near the bowl.
