A very cool Billiard. Not my normal Billiard as I made some changes. This piece is quite a bit longer than I normally make and the shank is straight and not tapered, it has a nice sized shank but a very comfortable mouthpiece.I am actually pretty impressed with the weight. When you hold the bowl in your hand it feels like nothing. It almost feels like all the weight is in the mouthpiece! The top also is a bit different with the larger smooth bevel, a nice touch!. It is not really visible in the photo but the silver work has a really neat design.A very graceful pipe and the blast is wonderful and it is cut form 6 year old Italian briar. Very comfortable in the hand and mouth. Brown stain, hand cut Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Graded S4. Thank you very much for looking.
