Scottie Piersel: Partially Sandblasted Pencil Shank Apple Tobacco Pipe

Her dedication to expert craftsmanship, with priority placed on functionality, durability and precision, is one of many reasons Scottie Piersel's pipes have become such a hot commodity, her work sought by collectors all over the world. The American carver has imbued this charming Apple with her individualized shaping aesthetic, pairing a broad-based, muscular and gently rounded bowl with one of her signature pencil-thin shanks, the composition boasting Italian and Danish design cues. The shank, though ultra-thin, is reinforced with steel tubing, bolstering its strength and longevity. Scottie is certainly not complacent when it comes to enlivening her work with flourishing flair, as another of her signatures, a trim accent ring of Ivorite, is displayed along with an elongated, multi-colored stem, all culminating in a fetching, vibrant color palette. The stummel is dressed in a dark sandblast, the smooth beveled rim further softening the form and certain to assist in the easy loading of favored blends.
