Sandblasted Canadian Tobacco Pipe

Gustavo Cunha, the Brazilian artisan behind marTelo pipes, combines his background in woodworking and furniture design to create a diverse portfolio, ranging from traditional designs to organic Freehands. MarTelo's mission is to preserve the pipe-smoking tradition by crafting pipes with a soul — living pieces that evoke happiness from his clients and friends. This Canadian is one of marTelo's more reserved pieces, offering a traditional silhouette that many Anglo-French enthusiasts know and love. As expected, this Canadian boasts all of the form's characteristic features, including an upright Billiard bowl, an elongated oval shank, and an abbreviated tapered stem. The cylindrical bowl is proportioned beautifully next to the low-set, oval shank, which accentuates the bowl's height and lends the aft a sleek, graceful profile. A auburn-toned sandblast dresses the stummel, drawing out intricate growth rings that ripple up the bowl.
