Bill Shalosky: Sandblasted Brow Burner with Boxwood (531) Tobacco Pipe

The Brow Burner is a signature shape of Bill Shalosky's. It's a whimsical design, one that pairs the immense, tubular depth of a Stack with the compact length of a Nosewarmer. Shalosky has rendered several examples over the years, and all are marked by the same towering bowl and compact profile — though each remains unique its exact design. This piece rests nicely in hand, the proportions managed with a precision that is difficult to master. A softened, complementing saddle stem of vulcanite makes for comfortable clenching, should that be desired. The stummel is dressed in a mahogany-tinged, well-executed sandblast, while a pale ring of boxwood lends this playful piece further charm.
