Notes:  This pipe was made as a model for a potential pipe club pipe - drawings are easy, but ultimately I think better in 3D and it's easier to convey a visual idea closer to the end result with an actual pipe to look at.  The pipe has a handcut horn stem from St. Claude, and a REALLY fun sandblast grain pattern (see my recent blog post on the subject for more on reading sandblast grain).  One side shows very thin, very warbled ring grain, while the other shows distinct rings interspersed with warty bird's-eye bits from the angle.  The effect on the long shank looks marvelous.  And the bowl tilt is just enough so that the smoker can still easily see the bowl rim from the top for easy lighting.
This is the first LB Collector I've had available for quite some time!
