This straight Pot is a newer shape for me and it seems to be very well accepted. I do like the shape myself and the color is one of my favorites. It is a highlighted reddish brown and check out that blast! I a very happy with the blast on this pipe and it is one of those pieces that just comes alive in the blasting cabinet. I hope it goes fast as this is one I could get warm in a hurry! This piece is rusticated then sand blasted which results in a incredibly deep, craggy, almost coral like appearance. The rustication along with the rings from blasting it truly is an interesting finish to admire. Hand cut Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment.

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.
