Nørding: Black Grain Freehand (3) Tobacco Pipe

Rife with fluting channels and pronounced ridgelines, this Freehand from Erik Nording highlights many signature design cues associated with the legendary carver and his appreciation for the Danish Fancy style. Its hearty proportions provide a substantial presence in hand while the deep tobacco chamber is equipped to provide lengthy smoking sessions. The shaping of this piece still maximizes the briar's grain potential, with the smoky contrast stain making the grain even more striking and pairing well with the plateau gracing the rim.
