Just completed one of my Pokers and I am very pleased with this one! This one really appeals to me and I am trying my best not to keep it. I cut this from a well aged piece of briar that I purchased in 2003 and the blast came out very well. Beautiful smooth top and the slight bend really adds to the comfort and the look. Beautiful colors, generous capacity and it is a sitter. Hand cut Red Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Wide Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and y our consideration of my work.
