Here is a great piece of aged briar that came out a natural finish. This Dublin is a comfortable piece and the mouthpiece goes very well with the natural color of the briar. This is a only wax finish and they really color up wonderful, and fast! This piece has generous capacity and it is a sitter. Hand cut Tan Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver” Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
