Sandblasted Bamboo Acorn/Egg Tobacco Pipe

This J. Alan "Eggcorn" features wonderfully lithe, windswept lines fused with the spherical, and the composition is mightily impressive, even on a "running at a gallop" cursory inspection. The sandblasting is top tier, and coaxes out a mesmerizing combination of interlocking ring and fan grain. The cream of the four knuckle bamboo contributes a delightful sense of elongation to the design, and the deliciously thin saddle bit finishes to perfection.
