A size large egg with elephant ivory on the shank.
The next two are for a customer. The only request was my interpretation of a Savinelli 101 with a blasted finish. The customer gets first pick:
Here's a nice chunky author that sort of flowed from minds eye into briar. This one went together so well I was expecting something catastrophic right up until the last minute:
This brandy turned out really nice, with a light contrast stain and a 3-knuckle bamboo shank.
This last one was an adventure. I tried several new things on it, and learned a ton. It's got a bamboo shank with a slight bend in it, and ivory rings instead of vulcanite on either end. I went back and forth for days trying to decide wether I wanted to bend the stem slightly or not, and I still don't know. The pictures don't do it justice, for a symetrical pipes, there's a lot of movement in it, and the straight stem seems much more appropriate in person.
