Brad Tenner Fumed Hammer

Description

Brad Tenner, or “BT” of BT Glass, met Bob Snodgrass in the parking lot of the Sacramento Cal Expo Grateful Dead shows in 8/4 – 8/6 of 1989. They discussed glass pipes and what was going on at the time. Bob showed Brad some things he was working on. They met up again in the parking lot of a Dead show in 1991. This is the meeting that led to Brad being one of Bob Snodgrass’s and Bob Snodgrass III’s early students. Brad went on to work on and go on tours with the Dead, and learn to blow glass with Bob Snodgrass and his family.

Brad comes from the Snodgrass school so fuming is king. It’s OG fume work by Brad that played a role in building this industry. In fact Brad was asked by Slinger to be in his “True OG’s” show recently. That show was put together to celebrate the artists who have helped shaped the industry from boro’s earliest days in the 90’s. Brad now lives in Eugene OR and is at the Snodgrass compound blowing glass daily.

A fumed hammer by Brad Tenner with an amazing brown in the stem! It’s rare you see a brown cleanly defined in fume. Brad dialed it in here in the stem and can and it is fantastic. The mouthpiece leans a bit more orange, and the small honeycomb implosion section carries a green tone. The base of the can is a silver blue honeycomb fume. Violet tones come on strong in the can and bowl, and the bowl is a fully worked silver white swirl. A large carb provides easy control of the pull. A beautiful hammer with insane color from Brad Tenner!

At 6.1 inches long, 2.3 inches high, and 1.75 inches wide including the carb, this is a medium hammer. Brad signed this with “BT” in fuming on the bottom of the can and it looks great here. The color change with use will be fantastic on this as fuming colors become more intense with use. Beautiful work from Brad Tenner of BT Glass!
