Pipecase
Stag Antler - 22cm long
I'm afraid this one is not for sale. I was commissioned to make it recently and was told that , as far as my client knew, this would be the first contemporary pipecases to be made. I have no idea if this is correct but will take as many commissions to make more as I can get, since I had a ball making it.

I chose an old, very dry piece of antler which I was sure would take a deep stain from ibushi, the method of staining with incence smoke which penetrates deeply.
