Eclesias Pipes “Dragon Scale” Sandblasted Prince w/ Bamboo Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

There are some artisans who are well known and widely acclaimed for their sandblasting techniques. Bill Taylor of Ashton, J.T. Cooke, Lee Von Erck, and so on. The reason these figures are so well known for their sandblasts is not just because they mastered pre-existing techniques, but went so far as to create their own. Pavel Holub’s Eclesias pipes display a similar ingenuity, with his “Dragon Scale” sandblasting producing results that are as tactile and densely layered as their namesake.

In this instance we find Eclesias putting his indelible mark on another staple within the contemporary artisan scene: the bamboo prince. Whether it’s Ichi Kitahara, Adam Davidson, Il Duca, or Sabina Santos, it seems that every good artisan appreciates the elegant simplicity of a well made prince, and that there are few design elements quite as suited to the shape as bamboo. This Eclesias Pipes rendition introduces Holub’s signature sandblasting, along with a fiery contrast stain, to the mix, creating something that is both a modern classic and highly unique.
