The Scrivener: (Unavailable)
I stood awestruck beneath the stone door lintel, watching the scrivener hunched at his desk. A succession of spent candles lay on the floor, plucked from their holder at his elbow and apparently replaced with little thought for their predecessors’ good work. A slim pipe protruded from the catch of his teeth, sending brooding whorls of tobacco smoke to dance above his head. Sweat beaded and glistened on the man’s gathered brow. His eager eyes, red from many vigils, held fast to his writing. He did not even notice my entrance. His quill scratched and flew over leaf after leaf of parchment. By turns, a smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, and I found myself envious of one so delighted by his work.

This pipe was had carved from the finest Italian briar. The crosscut grain reveals some nice grain patterns with birds eye on the sided and cross grain across the front and back the pipe, and the top of the bowl. This particular piece was fancied up with a copper shank cap, which will age with the use of the pipe.
The stem was hand cut out of 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.
