Nate King Pipe 826 High-Contrast Prince

Typically, we in the hobby associate American carver Nate King with whimsical and unique pipe designs, a true trend setter and trail blazer. While this smooth beauty is more conservative than Nate's usual work, take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of this composition. Observe the precise and delicate taper of the shank that blends into a slightly crowned saddle stem. This is a difficult detail to get just right, and Nate pulls it off perfectly. A keen observer will also notice how Nate has played with the traditional English proportions, stretching some areas, shrinking others, to give this pipe a sense of expectant balance. If all of these details aren't enough, the cross grain is stunning and the engineering is perfect.
