Michael Parks: Smooth Apple with Titanium (3 Leaf) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-473-0106
Canadian carver Michael Parks modernizes and elevates classic pipe-chart standards through his intricate shaping style, masterful finishing work, and keen eye for artistic flourishes. Not one to simply rely on the sheer aesthetics, Parks' pipes are also superbly engineered, designed to be refined smoking instruments that are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.
This Apple is a particularly sleek example of Park's shaping style, which tends to be slightly more robust and curvaceous. Plump and supple, the bowl here stands at the fore of a long, slender, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement, one that stretches out the entire form past six inches in total length. The bowl stands atop a subtly lifted heel that lends a subtle dynamism to the shape's silhouette. The transition is gently cheeked, lending emphasis to the bowl's aft side and giving the bowl in its entirety a sense of independence within the composition. A striking ruby smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous flame grain around the bowl's rounded flanks, while a titanium accent adorns the junction and adds a dose of flash to the pipe's otherwise reserved color palette.
