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. THESE ARE THE WORDS FROM THE NEW OWNER. I wished he could write all my copy. Thank you Eric! WELL WELL WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE THE CLASSIC SQUAT RHODESIAN WITH A TWIST... A DUALITY OF CONTRASTS... THE NATURAL FINISH OF THE WOOD WITH THE STRONG SOLID CLASSIC BLACK STEM, THE MASTERFUL WORKED RUSTICATED BLAST AGAINST AND SUPPORTING THE SMOOTH ,SUPPLE AND VERY TENDER TONES OF BIRDSEYES GENTLY REVEALED AT THE TOP OF BOWL. NOTHING SHORT OF SEXY! VERY SEXY! AWESOME! Here is one of my favorite shapes, straight Rhodesian in my Bella Cera finish and a wonderful blast! This is a very interesting pipe and it has a FULL smooth top. I believe this is the FIRST Rhodesian where I made the whole top smooth. It came out great and worth the effort. This is a great pipe for a nice 45-60 minute smoke. This is a wax only finish that colors up beautifully. The rustication along with the rings from blasting it truly is an interesting finish to admire. Hand cut Ebonite mouthpiece, Delrin tennon, hand made Solid Sterling fitment.
