Description:
This masterpiece Billiard is the Second in a special line of Classic English Shapes made for Smokers' Haven by Michael Parks. The pipe features an intricate Moose Antler Ring and Hand-cut Acrylic Stem with an Ebonite tenon. The bowl is made from Italian Briar, and shows variations of Straight Grain running vertically on the sides to flames on the front and back. The top and bottom of the bowl show a mixed Birdseye Grain. The Moose Antler Ring has a translucent sheen and shows a pleasant speckled color. The stem tapers steeply to a very thin button that fits comfortably, and has a mother of pearl inlay. The pipe has a free flowing draw with no interruptions, and the end of the tenon and mortise wall fit flush so no moisture will build up. Michael has shaped this magnum sized billiard to the specifications of the old Dunhills and Barlings. The symmetrical bowl is thickest at the middle and evenly curves in both directions.
