PARLIAMENTARY PORTRAITS
Made by a man who is handy with tools and has a keen eye for fitness of form, there is a tobacco pipe in Wellington at present .that could not be smoked by any mere man. The pipe is about sft long, and its bowl and stem are built to proportion, the former being large enough to hold about 51b of tobacco. Looked at from the outside, the bowl of the pipe appears to have been shaped from a single piece of wood like any ordinary tobacco pipe, but actually it was built of small staves like a barrel, and these were shaped and polished after being fastened together. The mouthpiece, although it has the appearance of a conventional pipe mouthpiece, was also made from wood, carefully shaped and enamelled blade.
