Nørding: Cut Smooth Paneled Bent Pot (4) Tobacco Pipe

A more understated, refined offering by Erik Nording, this bent Pot forgoes his usual organic style but maintains the usual stout proportions. The tall, hearty bowl houses plenty of chamber depth within thick walls and features multiple firm-lined facets that allow it to be gripped easily, while the arcing shank and stem offer a more slender approach in back for balance. The Danish carver's Cut series is one of his high-grade lines, bringing some mesmerizing grain to the forefront, and is accented by a colorful band at the shank end for further flourish.
