Thomas James Pipe Sandblast Egg with Teardrop Shank and French Boxwood

The tight blast on this Thomas James pipe is deceptive as it seems to reveal growth rings in some light, and straight grain in others.  Even the finish is subtly different, moving from a deep dark cherry to a coppery rust  tone depending on how the light hits it.  Shaping an asymmetric piece like this has its challenges, but Thomas never fails to keep the proportions in balance and show off the details of clean lines and form in brilliant synch with each other.  Danish inspired, sourced in France, and made in America.
