Sandblasted Billiard with Cocobolo (Shell) (A) Tobacco Pipe

A slightly corpulent straight Billiard shape, this plump-based fellow is fairly abbreviated, with a good bit of visual weight lent to the bowl in profile. Said emphasis up front is well-utilized too, offering a spotlight for some pretty stellar blasted ring grain radiating down the bowl, courtesy of Penzo's Shell finish. Following a pronounced, gently tapering shank, Giacomo opted for an accent of warm, smoldering cocobolo to dress the base of otherwise jet-black stem. A substantial piece I can readily imagine making someone a stellar comfort pipe.
