Erik Nording's black/natural finish brings to mind a rising column of dark smoke in this half-bent pipe from his Signature Freehand series, while the nooks and ridges create a comfortable grip on the smooth matte bowl for holding this large-chambered pipe.
Started from pipes carved at shows, the unfinished briar pipes signed by Erik Nording became so popular the pipe maker decided to create this Signature series around these works of art.
