Dr. Bob Pipe Smooth Hawkbill

Taking all the liberties that the well grained briar would allow, Dr. Bob gave this gorgeous hawkbill a bit of a rubenesque quality, swelling the bowl and shank's width to encompass as much straight grain as the shape would allow.  Copious amounts of angel haired patterns wrap all the way around the piece, causing the eye to see an even plumper dimension.  The shank's face is perfectly perpendicular to the rim of the bowl celebrating the best feature of a classic hawkbill while the rim is wide and rounded into the chamber.  Of particular note is the striking swirls of vivid and contrasting color in the brindle stem, capping the natural beauty of the wood on display.
