I decided to finish up this "pipe." It doesn't even have an airway so not sure it qualifies as a pipe. But it was fun to make something pipe-like again. I still suck at shaping billiards. The cheeks elude me. The stem on this is an atrocity that I think may be punishable by stoning. The green band is inlaid stone. I found a greenish one here and just crushed it into a powered with a sledge.
It should make a neat paper weight...

That is really nice for a paperweight.

Thanks. It's a pity. I think this is my best shaped billiard yet (though that's not saying much.)
