I just finished up this Lumberman (Canadian, oval shank, saddle stem). I just got my first batch of Mimmo wood, and this was the first block I cut in to. I'm so thrilled with his wood. This was an almost perfect cross cut with nice bird's eye on the sides and tiger stripes running over and under the shank, and across the front and back of the bowl.

It measures just over 6" long. The bowl is 3/4 diameter and 2" deep. The stem is ebonite with an acrylic mother of pearl accent ring.

Feel free to PM or email me if you're interested.















Thanks for looking.

Brian.

Excellent work man, thats some great briar for sure! I wish I could justify buying a pipe right now- alas bills are calling my name.

Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about those bills. You have to miss quite a few of them before they come looking for you. And when they do you can just show them your new pipe and ask them what they would have done in your position. I think they'll understand.

Thanks for he compliment.
