This Pot is one of my signature pieces and this came out with a beautiful smooth top and the blast isn’t bad either! This piece of wood is nicely aged in my shop 10-12 years! The mouthpiece is actually a bit lighter than the photos. For a good idea of the color please look at # 2308 in the gallery. Hand cut Olive Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
