Sandblasted Lumberman / Egg, Oval Shank, Prussian Blue Ebonite Stem & Extension

Here is a general Lumberman type shape (oval stem with saddle pipe) but whose ovoid head is more readily classified as ‘Egg’ or even ‘Apple’. The shape is pleasing to the eye, with a more marked overhang on the posterior surface of the head, a rounded shape which makes all its charm. The finish is sanded and tinted in an orange-brown color which contrasts well with the bluish ebonite extension, giving it a look that does not go unnoticed and at the same time very summery. The stem is cut in a bar of ebonite ‘Bleu de Prusse’.  The floc is teflon and the rod drilled to 4.2mm. The slot of the stem (concave cut) is open in V for optimal draw. This Italian briar benefited from one and a half years of drying from the supplier and another two years in my reserve.
