Pipe 4 - Rose Bud 4, with Snakewood as Bamboo Imitation Ferrule (2005-2006). Snakewood and antler decoration.
Comments:
Snakewood ferrule on this pipe is cracking. This pipe was one of my first experiments on how to stabilize this so beautiful but at the same time so elusively cracking/splintering wood; well, I'm working on it. Wolfgang Becker have acquired two of my early #2 and #4 pipes with decorative bamboo imitation ferrules. I like these myself, pipes with these decorative extension ferrules have become as some sort of my own personal signature pipes; these pipes redesigned are here to stay.
