Misc. Estates: Wojtek Pastuch Sandblasted Pencil Shank Billiard with Warthog Tusk (0831) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-008-6151
This pencil shanked Billiard from Wojtek Pastuch is certainly on the more lithe, slender end of the carver's shaping spectrum, though it boasts a bit more length than the more compact numbers we've seen from the Polish artisan. With a touch of forward cant about the bowl, it conveys something of a soft Danish influence, though the sandblasted treatment is far craggier than the understated, low-profile blasts commonly associated with the Danes. Indeed, it's more like something Dunhill would have produced during the Patent period, and the gently inflated shaping at the rim is well-suited to the touch of smooth stain at play. It features a reverse-tenon arrangement, along with a creamy, delicate accent of genuine warthog tusk, guiding the eye to the easy taper and fishtail-like flare of the stem.
