Here is a great piece of aged briar that came out a natural finish and a beautiful smooth top. This is a piece I really would like to be smoking myself! I do not get many in a natural, and even less with a smooth top. I would call this gem a nose warmer but with generous capacity, small diameter shank and comfortable mouthpiece. Of course it is a sitter and the mouthpiece goes very well with the natural color of the briar. This is a only wax finish and they really color up wonderful, and fast! Hand cut Golden Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver” Wide Rope Dome” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
