Neerup: P. Jeppesen Handmade Ida Easy Cut Partially Rusticated Bent Apple (3) Tobacco Pipe

Crafted by Peder Jeppesen of Neerup, the Ida Easy Cut line features shapes that were made and finished completely by hand. This bowl-centric bent Apple design exemplifies Peder's distinctive shaping approach, often favoring bold, muscular proportions and smooth, supple curves. The bowl in this example is exceptionally plump and round, offering a delightful feel in hand. It's dressed in a rich contrast stain that highlights the subtle nuances of the briar's natural grain, doing well to represent the Danish carver's signature style and finishing approach, with dark patches of rustication seen along the flanks. It's further accentuated by a colorful acrylic band at the shank end as well as an arcing stem.
