🇬🇧 LES WOOD FERNDOWN BARK/REO ** 2 STAR LONG SHANK BULLDOG PIPE LES WOOD MINT For Sale

THE LAST PRECIOUS FEW PIPES

Now it’s time to part with the favorites - my Ashtons by Bill Taylor, my Ferndowns by Les Wood, and a few other high end pieces. Any of these that don’t sell, I will gladly keep.

A BEAUTIFUL FERNDOWN / LES WOOD CLASSIC BARK FINISH WITH A REO BOWL RIM & TOP - 2 STAR SIZE - LONG-SHANK BULLDOG - LJS SADDLE STEM

Excellent Condition - Mint

It's a shame when a carver retires, but Les Wood has been around as long or longer than anyone and he and Dolly deserve it. While we will unfortunately never see Ferndown production again, there are "vintage" Les Wood / Ferndowns around.

This is one and an absolute gem, I've always felt Les made too few of his fantastic Canadians and Long Shank pipes! This is an amazing long diamond shank bulldog. Over 6" long, it feels amazing in hand, about a Group 5 with a beautifully formed bowl, nice thick walls and a healthy sized chamber.

The long shank is completed by a LJS logo original Ashtonite/ Ebonite saddle bit. Finish is a lovely dark finish with brown highlights on the craggy Bark rustication and smooth polished Reo finished rim.

A phenomenal piece from the great Les Wood, this one simply will not disappoint!
