The pipe itself isn't all that heavy I knew this was going to be a pretty chunky pipe so I chose one of my lighter blocks. I don't have a scale so couldn't give you an exact number. One of the things I love about full bents is that they just hang from your mouth with very little in the way of leverage.

JMB,
I really like the effect too. I put a hunk of Cocobolo on the lathe and made a tenon with a good bit left on the bottom for the piece of cocobolo you see mid-way up the shank. Finally I drilled the mortise in the Cocobolo, drilled out the mortise in the briar that made the top of the shank, glued and clamped the two together. I'll see if I can get some better pics.
