Here is a nice piece cut from well aged Italian Briar. I believe I purchase this wood sometime in 2004. The blast came out very well and the dark brown highlighted stain seems to go well with the mouthpiece. The slight bend really adds to the comfort of the piece, generous capacity and very adequate wall thickness. Nice colors and it is a sitter. Hand cut Sky Blue Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Flat Wide Wavy” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and y our consideration of my work.
