Randy Wiley: Feather Bent Dublin Sitter (66) Tobacco Pipe

Florida-based artisan Randy Wiley has carved pipes for over 40 years, developing an immediately recognizable style beloved by pipe smokers worldwide. This bent Dublin is a playful rendition of the traditional shape, displaying a strong forward cant thanks to its flattened heel, the pipe is able to sit upright with quite a jaunty disposition. The asymmetrical, flared rim caps a straight-walled bowl paired to a near-vertical diamond shank. An eye-catching hardwood accent adorns the end of the shank, made of purple-stained hardwood for a dash of flair. The composition is completed by a bent acrylic stem, making this Sitter an easy clencher as well. The stummel is stained a light brown color, revealing fine flame grain around the bowl, with a carved feather adding another touch of style at the bottom of the transition.
