About this product

The Surfacework Sherlock is an S-shaped style of pipe favored by Sherlock Holmes. The bend in its shape prevents ash from pulling through, and like Hand Pipes, these pieces also have a carb. Surfacework Sherlocks are created by melting colored glass strands onto the surface of a glass pipe. This technique can be used to create a variety of designs on the glass, and is often called "Wrap and Rake" among artists because it can be used to create a scalloped pattern by wrapping the glass pipe with color, and then raking the color in the opposite direction.
