I have had some requests lately to make my mouthpieces a bit flatter. For some reason since I started making my mouthpieces out of Ebonite I got away from a little technique that I use to use. I once again started using that technique and collectors have noticed a big improvement so I will continue to do this. It makes for a flatter more comfortable mouthpiece. I think you will notice a big difference. This piece turned out very nice. I am quite happy with the overall shape of this piece and with the slight point at the bottom, just a neat touch to make it different. To me, this piece has quite a bit going on to make it unique without being pretentious. I was very fortunate with this piece, the shape really lends itself well to the grain, the grain curves right along with the walls. This pipe came out a natural with no stain and a very clean piece of wood, I do not get many pieces of wood that make the “grade” to be natural, not a common occurrence to say the least. The natural finish will acquire a wonderful color and patina over time. Hand cut Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, solid sterling fitment. Graded “U” @ $1295.00..00 USA SHIPPING INCLUDED (“U” 1275+ 20.00 S&I)
