Blowfish Index Spanish English

The Blowfish is a very unusual shape. Although the design varies from maker to maker, the essential elements are that the bowl is an asymmetrical flattened ball, the stem is bent, blending into the body near the bottom of the bowl, and the grain of the wood crosses the tobacco chamber, making the rounded sides birdseye grain surrounded by straight grain. The transition from the shank to the bowl must be flowing and organic. See the illustration.

Because of the difficulty of making the design and the grain requirements for the wood, you won't find an inexpensive Blowfish.

The Blowfish shape demonstrates the best of both straight grain and birdseye. It is definitely the pipe for those who love the grain patterns of briar.

Notes Straight grain. Grain of the wood runs perpendicular to the tobacco chamber. Stem is bent. Top View. Left and right sides are usually rounded and are different sizes.
