Sandblasted Strawberry Wood Poker (Four Clubs) Tobacco Pipe

Well, he may have chosen briar's lighter-weight cousin for it, but this Poker certainly doesn't seem to have lost any ability to sit steady for it. In fact, it readily passes the second test I usually give to sitter shapes (the first being "does it sit at all?"); tipping it back until the button touches my desk, it immediately rocks itself back forward. Speaking of "forward", as is often the case with Paolo's creations, there's a good amount of forwardness to this design, though here it's executed simply, with the presence of a just-right degree of cant.
