I just completed this comfortable stack. Blast came out great from my dwindling supply of well aged Algerian briar. Comfortable in the hand and the half saddle mouthpiece makes it comfortable in the mouth. Highlighted brown stain and it is a sitter. Hand cut Bronze Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
