Walt Cannoy Cardinal House Morton C24 Rusticated Egg Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Walt Cannoy first emerged as a major figure in the the North American pipe-making renaissance around the turn of the millennium. Originally an R&D mechanic, Cannoy carved and sold his first pipe in 1999, having been inspired by artisan pipe-makers as diverse as Preben Holm, Robert ‘Micoli’ Burns, and Joe Mariner. Cannoy would soon rise in the ranks of the North American artisan scene, becoming one of its premier high-grade carvers.

“Cardinal House” began as a side-project of Florida’s Walt Cannoy, before evolving into more of a division of separate lines within his output. The Cardinal House “Munn” and “Morton” lines, for example, wear rusticated finishes; “Hollingsworth” and “Langford,” on the other hand, are smooth pieces. This Morton, named for Florida’s Lake Morton, takes on the figure of a Danish bent egg, even including a ferrule cut from Scandi-American favorite Ivorite (also known as Elforyn) as well as a hand-cut NYH Cumberland stem. Where it departs from the Danish, mold, however, is in its finishing, utilizing a form of hand rustication reminiscent of both ring grain sandblasts and early Sasieni pipes (in what later became the Rustic line).
