DESCRIPTION: The mastery of Hans “Former” Nielsen is often best demonstrated when he shows how perfectly he can execute a standard shape. This straight grain apple is one of these pipes. Simple, compact, and elegantly cut; the form of this pipe approaches the Platonic. The beautifully rounded bowl is begging to be picked up and admired. The balance is perfect. The generous ivory that caps the shank enhances the shape without being overstated. And then the grain….WOW! Birdseye lovers, beware the bottom of the pipe- you could get lost there for some time. An amazing piece from one of the worlds top carvers.
