Musico: Sandblasted Pear with Bamboo (Floodlight Special) Tobacco Pipe

The overall aesthetic of this piece is one that the Musico workshop returns to fairly often as it features a trim, tapered stem, a slender, upright bowl, and an organic medium extending the shank's length. In this example's case, said bowl is a tall Pear, its flaring profile catching the eye in silhouette. Undulating patterns of ring grain adorn the sandblasted stummel, making it hard to determine if the finish or the three knuckles of bamboo are my favorite aspect. Thankfully, I don't have to decide because this piece boasts both.
