Description
..Yes the dawg iz back and diz time in black…
This shape originates from Bo nordh who I’ve heard came upon it by mistake working away flaws on a pipe destined to turn out otherwise.

We’ve been playing around with it for a while and I just love its roundness and short and compact dimensions we have some upcoming wilder variations that I look forward to show you..But we’ll save that for later.

I am happy that after having the blasting setup at home for nearly a year now and not having to travel 35 kilomiters to sandblast is showing results.

Stained in black with a red undertone that goes well with the handcut Cumberland stem.
The grain rays out from the back of the bowl wich creates an intresting variation to a straightgrain version.when blasted. The rings are consistent and well centered with more detail than shown in the pictures

The stem has an inlay of whale tooth in cream white to give a nice contrast effect
passes the pipe cleaner test with intrest.

Description
Another Bulldoggish shape, this version is one of my personal favorites and I’m very tempted to keep this to myself.

Featuring nearly flawless briar with tight grain and lovely Birdseye that fans out from one side to explode on the other (I hate to rub the cliché but the pics do not do this pipe justice) It’s sometimes hard to get depth in photos of unstained pipes.

I would have priced this pipe noticeably higher where it not for the unusual mistake of miss drilling the draught hole …I blame it on flaws of the Brain!!....It enters at the very bottom of the tobacco chamber but 2 mm to the left of the center. This is merely a cosmetic flaw and it will not affect the smoking qualities of the pipe. Trust me I know…So if you’re looking for a very nicely grained nearly flawless example of our work this is a steal ..

A nice short pipe that fits in your breast pocket..but even better in your mouth.

Shank ring in whale tooth and a hand cut stem made in German ebonite

Like all Geiger’s this passes the pipe cleaner test.

Description
This is my favorite bulldog variant or Bull Moose as I’ve seen some call it..

Again the pictures do not really do it justice and I will continue experimenting with how to photograph blasts..

Shallow but detailed blast with ring grain following the whole underside of the bowl as well as the sides of the shank. The top of the bowl being a blend of flame and Birdseye was hard to get much detail to without distorting the shape which I did not want to do on a pipe like this. Smooth rim,
Stained in a brown color matching the Cumberland stem well.

Hand cut saddle Cumberland stem with a thin and comfortable bit and a conical bore

Like all Geiger’s this passes the pipe cleaner test and is drilled spot on
