Bob Hayes Smooth Freehand Acorn (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Bob Hayes is a relative newcomer to the pipe making trade, I think about five or six years, if I recall correctly (please feel free to drop a line and correct me). Bob and his pipes have made a few appearances at the Cornell and Diehl table at numerous pipe shows. Bob uses excellent briar from a famous Danish pipe maker, and his pipes always include cool touches, such as nice bit slotting and chamfered tenons. This acorn features some stunning straight grain on the left of the bowl, and a giant whorl on the right.
