Nørding: Royal Flush Partially Rusticated Blowfish (Queen) Tobacco Pipe

Dressed in a stylish finish that juxtaposes smooth sections of smoky briar against a dark, craggy rustication, this Blowfish from Erik Nording is stylish and easily recognizable as the work of the Danish carver. As is typical for the shape, a wrapping ridgeline lends definition to the disc-shaped panel across one flank of the bowl, while the shank-and-stem arrangement flows out back. A crisp, white saddle stem tops off the design and adds a dose of vibrant color to the overall composition.
