Bill Shalosky 473 1/4 Bent Sandblast Rhodesian with Fordite

Another stunning use of fordite incorporates well into the well known Billdesian shape from great American carver Bill Shalosky.  Other artisans routinely complain about the difficulty of working with, let alone getting a perfect ring from the vivid and versatile material, but here Bill has once again used the pattern to accentuate the shape and finish of this thick walled and crown stemmed, dark plum, ruby blasted gem.  Distinct and unique, this marvel of pipe making is both fantastic and functional, like all of the briar carrying the Shalosky stamp.
