Nørding: Valhalla Sandblasted Spigot (352) Tobacco Pipe

Erik Nording isn't exactly a carver that typically renders shape-chart standards, instead opting to craft Fancy Freehands and other bold, daring designs. However, the Valhalla series is dedicated to showcasing Nording's takes on Danish classics such as this "352" straight Billiard. The tall, upright bowl subtly tapers from its plump base up toward the rim. The stummel wears a light-depth sandblast, finished in an earthy brown stain. The bright metal spigot stands out in stark contrast and enables this pipe to be broken down at any point, even while it's still hot without having to worry about damaging the shank.
