Sean Reum Pipes Bent Acorn Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Over the last decade, Sean Reum has emerged as one of North America’s most admired and in-demand pipe-makers, with his fans including, among many others, the one and only G.L. Pease. Having followed Reum’s career for many years, including catching a few glimpses of the artisan in his Montana workshop, I’m happy to say that his status in the pipe world is well-earned. A master carver of hand made pipes in the Scandinavian tradition, Reum has managed to secure a niche in the highly competitive artisan market through a combination of innovative designs and production techniques, a consistent, high quality output, and an almost unparalleled work ethic.

This particular Reum showcases two things that have come to be associated with the Montana artisan’s work. The first is the recurring motif of the acorn in Reum pipes, with each subsequent exploration developing the shape in distinct ways. The second is unorthodox color compositions, with traditional brown/red stummel vs brown/red stem pairings being eschewed and replaced with more lively creations. This acorn marries a light, contrast sandblast finish with a limited edition tan ebonite stem, and like many Reum pipes, is lightweight enough to be an ideal clencher
