Smooth Bent Apple Tobacco Pipe

Balancing a plump, near-spherical bowl with a tight-knit transition and a slow, arcing lift to the lenticular shank and stem, it's this style of bent Apple that first comes to mind when picturing Benni Jorgensen's work. Stout but not muscular, elegant but not dainty, the signature showcases the kind of handling of line and curve that sets the Danish carver's work apart, not to mention his perfectly executed finishes. This low-slung piece is dressed in a warm, low-gloss contrast stain of tan and mahogany hues, really showcasing the block's stunning flame pattern.
