New Elena Doroshenko Bamboo Billiard

[voorhees]

Been on the lookout for a bamboo and a female carver. Both came to fruition in this pipe. From Bulgaria, she trained with Sergey Cherepanov

Very sharp Voorhees, I especially like the blue swirled stem and accent.

 

[voorhees]

phil, I thought the cumberland accent proves that she is concerned with aesthetics. Shows she cared about the final product even with small details.
Oh and its smokes great.

It's a humdinger, it's got Pazazz, Now how does it smoke?

 

[cortezattic]

It's just wonderful how the features of the bamboo are worked into the shank and stem. Those transitions are achieved in a very artful way. How deep and how wide is the bowl chamber?

 

[voorhees]

Cortez, the bowl is .79 wide and 1.48 deep.

 

[voorhees]

Bradley, smoked a bowl of Father Dempsey and it was great.

 

[papipeguy]

Very nice. The lady shows a lot of skill and artistry.

Very nicely crafted! I'm glad to hear that it's a good smoker as well. Congrats on the great addition!

The pattern on the bamboo lends a lot of energy in the pipe's design. The narrowing of the bowl looks brandy shaped to me, but I always give the carver the benefit of the doubt. I have an XL pipe that I considered a brandy, but then I saw the invoice from Johs that says it's an apple, so an apple it is. That's a really handsome pipe you have.

 

[jefff]

I strongly agree with Mso. She used the bamboo as a cue for the style of the pipe.
Bamboo is so hit or miss with me, this one is a hit.

 

[fishnbanjo]

This is is the Cavalier by Elena that I have.
