P2S/Tatsuo On Sale
Tatsuo & I chatted about the Les Wood turned bowls and aged by him for 25 years from his hand selected blocks, that I had. Could Tatsuo rework the bowls into a melding of the Japanese and English pipe aesthetic. Did this idea even make sense. We decided to try.
Tatsuo took his time until he saw in his mind’s eye what he felt, he could do with them. He took Les’ aged UK bowls and working within the constraints of their classic shapes to feel his way forward. Slowly he reworked each bowl, sandblasted most and finished them each with a hand cut stem.
To our eyes this fusion of two very different pipe making traditions has brought forth these unique expressions of the pipe.
