Sandblasted Morta Rhodesian with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Very solidly rendered, and in black morta at that; this is how things start out. Then there's a silver band of the rounded "wedding" style, adding some flash, but still solid in style and fitting to a classic sort of shape or palette. When we get to the stem however, that's where things get the full Askwith, as in, Chris runs with that penchant for colorfulness that marks so many of his pipes, whether traditional in form or modern. The stem is, unmistakably, violet — a very dark violet but still violet nonetheless. It also sparkles, slightly, because tiny, tiny sparkles are in fact blended in with the acrylic.
