American Estates: Adam Davidson Sandblasted Billiard with Horn (2015) Tobacco Pipe

Adam Davidson's portfolio ranges from highly sculptural pieces to classic renditions. This Billiard is a handsome showcase of one of his more conservative pieces, offering a streamlined profile and an engaging color palette. The cylindrical bowl conforms well to the hand and houses a capacious tobacco chamber that's sure to offer plenty of lengthy sessions. Out back, a round shank emerges from the bowl and meets a pale ferrule of genuine horn. Completing the profile is a sleek saddle stem of black vulcanite, its slender build keeping most of the visual weight left at the bowl. A chestnut sandblast dresses the stummel, drawing out a wealth of texture for the fingers to enjoy.
