Here is one of my standard Rhodesians but with a amazingly craggy blast! I used a piece of my antique Bakelite for the mouthpiece and it seems to always work well with the black stain. I was thinking this wood could very well be 100 years old. I calculated this by the length of time I have had these blocks, the time the previous owner had the wood, which was over thirty years and the time it took to grow to the size of these blocks, I would not be afraid to say this wood started growth a hundred years ago. These blocks are huge and I can sometimes get two large pipes out of a block, probably three gp. 4 sized pieces. It takes a long time in the ground to get to this size! In any event this would be a great flake pipe or for those stronger tobaccos and maintains nice wall thickness. Not a huge chamber but one with enough room to please. Hand cut Bakelite 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.
