Denmark, 1970-80s

A nicely made Danish freehand from Erik Nording. The pipe comes the most probably from the 1970-80 when his old grading system was applied (A to F and 1, 2, 3….). An exquisite middle size smooth freehand pipe with attractive distinct grain!

Denmark Once upon a time there was an engineer. He lived in in the city of Copenhagen where all natives seem to born to play cubes in a father’s workshop, to try a pipe carved by father, and then to carve a pipe even better. So we can consider that the further biography of Eric…
