Winslow: Smooth Bent Billiard (D) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Billiard from Poul Winslow is quite a striking rendition of the classic shape, with a degree of momentum-infused, aerodynamic shaping that immediately gives me pause. Said shaping is prevalent at the bowl, with the heel jutting forward proudly, the bowl it sits upon tapering slightly rearward as it builds upward, this literal leaning pushing the heel into the forefront and offering a distinct, rushing appearance. The stem ebbs out of a rather wide transition, its end adorned with a band of colorful acrylic which the stylized saddle stem meets at the junction, its hues contrasting the stummel's smoky contrast stain quite nicely.
