The briar isn't the best and it had lots of little flaws (Nothing that will hurt the smoking of it) and so it got rusticated. The stem, while a pre-made has been reworked and has a delrin tenon and a "Black Rose" acrylic extension. The drilling is dead on and the airway is opened up all the way thru the stem and the bit has been funneled. After taking the pictures I see things I could fix, but instead since it isn't the best briar and I'm just getting into the flow of things again, I'll just move onto the next pipe.
I learned from this one and the next one will hopefully be better.
It may not be everyones cup of tea with the extreme cant, but someone may like them that way.
Feel free to hammer me now.
I'm just happy to finally have something out of the shop. It's been a while.
