The Woodstock shape. This is often confused with the Zulu, but is different.
"This surname-turned-given name ultimately stemmed from a place in England that gave the moniker its meaning of “wooden fence.”"
I don't know why or when the shape was given the name, but I do know it has nothing to do with the hippie-fest in 1969, because I bought a Castello of that shape in 1963 (still have and smoke it) and it was called that back then. Also, my 1962 copy of WEBER'S GUIDE TO PIPES shows the shape named Woodstock in it's shape chart (page 49).

I've seen both Woodstocks and Zulus called Yashtsman. I'm not sure but I seem to remember hearing that the Yachtsman shape name was a Dunhill creation.
"Straight" means there's no bend in the pipe. "Bent" means there's no straight in the pipe.
