Sandblasted Apple with Bamboo and Boxwood Tobacco Pipe

With a background in the automotive industry, artisan pipe maker Jerry Zenn utilizes his 25 years of mechanical expertise to craft well-engineered, detail-oriented pieces with superb smoking properties. Living and working in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Zenn is known for his organic shaping style and use of beautiful accents. This sandblasted Apple is one of the latest offerings to showcase the artisan's keen eye for design.

Featuring a bamboo shank, a boxwood accent, and a smoky sandblast, this piece offers plenty of organic appeal. The bowl also exhibits plenty of pronounced, organic curves, its shaping rather curvaceous even by Apple standards. Said bowl stands poised at the fore of a low-set shank that showcases three knuckles of pale bamboo. A flared boxwood accent at the end of the shank continues both the bamboos pale color scheme and its grooved textural and visual rhythm. A sleekly tapered stem of vulcanite completes the piece, its jet-black hue striking perfect harmony with the stummel's inky sandblast on the other side of the composition. With such harmonious shaping and detail work, this offering is sure to make a stunning addition to any pipe collection. Moreover, thanks to its conveniently compact dimensions, it also makes for a great travel companion, especially for the smoker who doesn't want to compromise style for the sake of portability.
