This is something a bit different for me and I am quite pleased with the results. The shank is quite a bit longer than I normally make and I like the graceful flow. This piece is in my polished blast finish and the brown stain acquires a beautiful patina through the process. It has a nice color combination and a wonderful blast. The natural wavy Plateau top adds a bit of character. Hand cut Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
