Nørding: Partially Rusticated Freehand (4) Tobacco Pipe

Erik Nording's ability to craft impressively robust and hearty Freehands is expertly showcased in this Freehand, reflecting the Danish carver's penchant for bold, non-traditional designs. The fluting ridges and channels around the bowl give the design a floral-like appearance, with natural plateau along the undulating rim accentuating its organic disposition. Dressed in Nording's signature partial rustication style, there's plenty of rugged texture to admire with the smooth portions handsomely finished in a warm, ruby-esque stain.
