I just completed this Rhodesian and I am very pleased that it came out a natural finish. This piece will color and obtain a beautiful patina while smoking. The blast came out very well from this aged piece of Italian briar. The very slight bend gives it a different look and it is very comfortable to clinch. It is about a Gp.6 and it is a sitter. Hand cut Tan Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Wide Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
