Sandblasted Bent Bulldog with Mammoth (Two Leaf) Tobacco Pipe

Hailing from Canada, Michael Parks is known for his ability to take shape-chart standards and put his own unique twist on them. In addition to being aesthetically beautiful, Parks' pipes are also incredibly engineered, the artisan's attention to detail on full display both on the inside and outside of his pieces. This bent Bulldog is no exception, combining elements of the classic silhouette with Parks' individuality. Up front, the bowl is squat, its walls rising from a softly pointed heel and flaring toward the shape's trademark twin beadlines before tapering back inward to the rim. The Bulldog's signature diamond profile can be seen along the softly bent shank that extends from the transition to meet a lovely accent of mammoth at the junction. A vulcanite saddle stem brings up the rear, its brindle hues pairing well with the dark stain along the sandblasted stummel, its finish highlighting impressive growth rings around the bowl.
