Randy Wiley: Patina Bent Dublin (77) Tobacco Pipe

This voluptuous bent Dublin by Florida-based carver Randy Wiley is a playfully asymmetrical rendition of the classic shape consistent with Wiley's distinctive style. A thick walled bowl with a generous chamber takes the fore of this piece, featuring a broad, organically shaped rim and rounded heel. The narrow transition leads to an upturned shank capped with a flaring section of hardwood dressed in a deep blue stain. The fetching accent is joined to a bent acrylic stem adorned with an attractive expansion ring. Dressed in Wiley's Patina stain, the stummel boasts attractive flame grain around the bowl.
