Sandblasted Morta Bent Bulldog (B) Tobacco Pipe

A bent Bulldog with aspirations of becoming an Eskimo shape, this morta piece from Max Rimensi highlights the wonderful, geometric crosshatching that morta provides in the hands of a skilled carver. It's a low profile sandblast while still emphasizing the remarkable beauty of morta. With the slightest of bends at the stem, which is a deeply hued cumberland, and crisp edging for the wide diamond shank, the pipes underside offers a flowing curvature with the grain perfectly centered. The bead lines are deeply cut and sharp, with the only smooth surface of the pipe resting between them. With this understated pipe, crisp geometry meets organic dynamism.
