Eclesias “Dragon Scale” Sandblasted Poker Sitter Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Out of stock

Description

There are some artisans who are well known and widely acclaimed for their sandblasting techniques. Bill Taylor of Ashton, J.T. Cooke, Lee Von Erck, and so on. The reason these figures are so well known for their sandblasts is not just because they mastered pre-existing techniques, but went so far as to create their own. Pavel Holub’s Eclesias pipes display a similar ingenuity, with his “Dragon Scale” sandblasting producing results that are as tactile and densely layered as their namesake. This example has been applied to a an otherwise quite classical poker shape, albeit with a long, bamboo shank extension and a rim of plateaux burl. Though it’s a long pipe, it’s exceedingly lightweight. Tom Eltang, eat your heart out.
