$409.99
From my personal collection of Ferndown and other fine pipes as I retire.
FERNDOWN / LES WOOD CLASSIC RUSTICATED *** (3 STAR) APPLE ESTATE PIPE W/ORNATE ORIGINAL (NOT REPAIR) STERLING SILVER BAND BARK FINISH AND LJS CUMBERLAND STEM
Excellent Condition
It's a shame when a carver retires, but Les Wood has been around as long or longer than anyone and although he is still making some collaboration pipes
I'm to understand, we will unfortunately never see Ferndown production again. This particular piece is now what I consider to be a "vintage" Les Wood / Ferndown.
After he left Dunhill he made pipes under the name "L. Wood" and "Elwood" before ultimately creating his flagship Ferndown that would be used until his retirement just a few years ago.
This classic Apple is an absolute gem, I've always felt Les made fantastic Saddle Stem pipes! Over 6" long, it feels amazing in hand, about a Group 6 with a beautifully formed bowl, nice thick walls and a healthy sized chamber.
The shank is adorned with a brilliant L&JS Sterling Silver band adding class - it is not a repair band! Stem is original Cumberland Ashtonite/ Ebonite with fishtail bit and signature LJS logo.
Finish is a lovely dark finish with brown highlights on the craggy rustication and smooth polished rim. A phenomenal piece from the great Les Wood, this one simply will not disappoint!
