Jared Coles: Smooth Bent Egg with Orangewood Tobacco Pipe

This bent Egg showcases Jared Coles' penchant for elegant lines and gorgeous, grain-defining finishes. As a shape, this piece boasts a plump, full-bodied bowl that stands at the fore of an upturned shank and a smartly curved saddle stem, the latter of which promotes a comfortable smoking posture. A pronounced undercurve unifies the pipe's fore and aft sides and lends an elegant sinuosity to the shape's profile. Subtle cheeking along the transition emphasizes the bowl's visual presence, while a lifted heel lends the bowl a forward-canted posture. A glossy smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous grain across the briar's surface, while an accent of orangewood adorns the junction and complements the pipe's color palette.
