Nording Abstract Partially Rusticated Freehand Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Nørding was founded by Erik Nørding in the 1960s, and is one of the oldest remaining companies to come out of the Scandinavian pipe-making renaissance that began in the mid-20th century. Now in his 80s, Erik Nørding is one of the most experienced and skilled pipe-makers in the world, and over the decades he has also been a teacher of other Danish masters, such as Poul Ilsted, Svend Axel Celius, Jens Tao Nielsen, Peder Jeppesen, and Søren Erik Andersen.

Freehand pipes are generally known for their rugged, naturalistic aesthetic. Erik Nording’s Abstract series of freehands aims to push that even further. Employing a mixed finish and a combination different rustication styles, these pipes given an even more distinctive depth and freedom of form. The pipes are then treated with a contrast stain that accentuates the remaining smooth sections of the briar.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
