Randy Wiley: Galleon Bent Apple (55) Tobacco Pipe

An esteemed American carver and a dedicated craftsman, Randy Wiley has been fashioning pipes since the 1970s. Wiley's pipes reflect his background in wood carving, as each design is distinctive and possessed of a unique character completely its own. Wiley produces roughly 1000 pipes annually, the majority of which are smooth, completely rusticated, or some mixture of the two — but never sandblasted. This bent Apple is a fetching showcase of Wiley's style, and it's presented in the crisp Galleon rustication, which lends a wealth of tactile detail to the briar.
