I think this is a very neat piece. It is a comfortable size and feels great in the hand and mouth. It does have a slight cant and a slight bend to the mouthpiece. The blast came out great as did the smooth top and it is a sitter. Thick walls and a beautiful top to ponder! I used some more new Ebonite I am simply calling it Sand Cumberland. It seems to go well with the black stain and this is only the second time I have used this material. Hand cut Sand Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Wide Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
