A more conservative design than most that we see from Rolando Negoita, this briar presents us with a neatly rounded, gently organic Apple bowl, perched upon the end of a fine transition and a robust three knuckles worth of pale bamboo, secured to the briar via a medical-grade stainless steel insert. It is, overall, a quiet and welcoming composition, a style accentuated by ther artisan's choice to finish the briar with only a very light, subtly warm stain.
