GKCPC Contest Dublin: (SOLD)
As a nice perk to this pretty pipe, seeing that it was my contest entry to the 2013 pipe carving contest, it will be featured in the next edition of Pipes and Tobacco Magazine. This Dublin is a version of Alex Florov’s version of Jorn Micke’s pipe. With the Kansas City carving contest promoting Dublin pipes this year, I went in search of beautiful Dublin shapes to inspire me. It’s no surprise that I was inspired once again by one of Alex’s pipes. He does such beautiful work.
This pipe is hand carved from the best Italian briar and has a very wonderful, tight straight grain. The grain is lovely all around the entire pipe. The shank was extended with an acrylic horn extension.
The stem was hand crafted from German Ebonite, and was fashioned with a comfort bit. As with all my pipes, I’ve opened this pipe up properly to give it the the right air flow to provide a cool dry smoke.
