Here is one of my larger standard Rhodesians but with an uncommon blast! While I was making this piece I was pondering about the wood, I was thinking this wood could very well be 100 years old. I calculated this by the length of time I have had these blocks, the time the previous owner had the wood, which was over thirty years and the time it took to grow to the size of these blocks, I would not be afraid to say this wood started growth a hundred years ago. These blocks are huge and I can sometimes get two large pipes out of a block, probably three gp. 4 sized pieces. It takes a long time in the ground to get to this size! In any event this is not a small pipe, generous chamber size and still maintains nice wall thickness. Hand cut Golden Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and y our consideration of my work.
