Winslow: Smooth Acorn (D) Tobacco Pipe

This Acorn from Poul Winslow presents a nearly straight profile, somewhat unusual for the often supple and bent shape. The heel features a pronounced fore instead of the spur often directly positioned along the underside, but the bowl's top is rounded just like an Acorn, with natural plateau punctuating its arc. The shank and stem are nearly straight, with just a slight downturn of the latter to offer a comfortable smoking posture. A smooth, rich auburn finish brings the briar's grain to life, handsomely accompanied by a jet-black accent at the shank end that unifies with the saddle stem's base.
