Zehnder Pipes

spirit in exile

Back from another show at .

As someone with perfectionist tendencies, I find a deep sense of solace and gratitude in meeting people who genuinely connect with and appreciate my work.

If I can offer moments of introspection, peace, comfort, joy, etc. to even one person through the ritual of pipe smoking, that feels deeply meaningful to me.

Pipe making is an artistic process I genuinely enjoy. It is inherently rewarding, and I am continuing to learn how to appreciate the results as they are—or perhaps, to accept and even love the so-called “flaws.”

Seal of Solomon grade Persimmon, with plateau rim and ebonite saddle stem. This piece has mesmerizing bird’s eyes on the shank faces, as well as nice straight grain that wraps around the pipe, down into the lower front of the bowl. Available this weekend.

Double Seal of Solomon ZehnDog, with decade old boxwood inlay on ebonite. This is a special piece, as it is the very first one to turn out smooth, which allows the viewer to admire its intended design based around lateral grain.

The grain flows gracefully up the sides of the pipe, rising into perfect flames on the shank base, finally meeting in a supernova of bird’s eyes on the front and back of the bowl. There’s also a little plateau crevasse on the chin, to tie in a rugged and natural element.
In essence, this pipe captures all angles of grain that briar has to offer, in a single design. ☯️
