I am quite happy with this Trafalgar in my polished blast finish. This piece came out with a natural finish and through the finishing process it already gained a beautiful patina, it is truly a beautiful piece of wood. Here is another piece I would love to be smoking! I rounded the bottom on the pipe and it really adds to the comfort, I really enjoy holding this piece. Hand cut Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
