About This Pipe
A stunning, conservatively organic acorn/pear bowl that contains echoes of both Lars and Fukuda-san is paired with an unabashedly Florovian bit and, in between, ten "crazy-beautiful" knuckles of perfect bamboo. As noted above, Alex is a man of mad skills and his bamboo work on this pipe, particularly in the arc/path that he chose for the material is perfect. A greater sine-wave pattern would not have suited the bowl and come off as affected, and a greater bowing is out of the question. What more can be said about the beautiful grain or the deft placement of plateau? This pipe is lovely, moving and (sadly) well out of my range. Let me know how you love it.
