Handmade Briar Wood Popeye Pipe

The extended saddle mouthpiece mirrors the shank and stem in length, creating perfect symmetry. Its gentle curve matches the upward swoop of the shank, forming a long yet balanced profile. The bowl flows seamlessly, leaning forward with a slight flare at the rim. This accentuates the tulip motif, subtly evoking a closed flower bulb.

Gorgeous grain aligns with the pipe’s contours. Flames engulf the bowl, while vertical stripes echo the shank’s curl. A rich auburn stain provides vivid contrast. Lean and lithe, this pipe embodies fluid refinement. The flawless shaping and grain earn Tom’s elite Snail grade.
