I just completed this poker and I really like the way it turned out. Looking at it, it does not seem like a nose warmer but I guess you could call it that and the proportions seem balanced. It is a very comfortable piece and would be a good clincher with the small diameter shank and mouthpiece. Not a huge piece by any means, Gp.4ish, a compact piece with generous capacity. A comfortable piece in my highlighted brown stain, and obviously it is a sitter. Hand cut Green Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver ”Wavy” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
