Adam Davidson
Adam makes about 75 pipes a year in smooth and sandblasted finishes from selected blocks. The stems are all hand-cut from German ebonite rod with turned and polished tenons, though he does occasionally use vintage Bakelite.
His shape inspirations come from early English styles, retro Danish, plus modern combinations with innovative designs and textures (such as sandblasted bamboo). Bamboo is one of his favorite materials to work with, and accents can include silver, boxwood, bacote, black palm, horn, and ivory.
