Grain fans rejoice! Peter does an amazing job coaxing the best out of a remarkable block of briar for this F-graded piece. Superb straight and flame grain covers the bowl, extending the length of the shank. The birdseye on the rim is equally impressive. The soft transition from bowl to shank, paired with the subtly flaring shank as it approaches the stem, creates a sense of visual balance that is inspired. The thin, fairly short stem, complete with boxwood insert, complements the rest of the composition.
