Michael Parks: Partially Sandblasted Blowfish (Maple Leaf) (VI.19) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-473-0093
Once you check out all the angles to see the number of things happening with this pipe, you'll get a far better understanding than the initial photo reveals. This is why multiple photos are necessary. That left-side photo says little to commend this pipe, but when you combine it for the full effect of what you can see when this pipe is in hand, wow, what a difference. From the left: kind of a tadpole shape with a sandblasted texture. From the top: Crisp ridgelines demarcating different surfaces with different grain, the uppermost being amazing horizontal grain along the top. Bottom: a convergence of sharp ridgelines unifying the composition. Right: Well, it's indescribable. It's a Michael Parks interpretation of the Blowfish, and it's everything we've come to expect from such a talented carver. The right side of the shank and right bowl are situated to reveal birdseye to its best potential, land the multitude of edges and ridges that combine to make that happen is impressive.
