Few simple questions;
Is it normal to have lots of chatter marks on briar from the sawing?
Do prefab stems normally come with an obscene amount of flashing?
Lastly, their chamber bit comes with a recommendation of using a 9/16" spade bit 2/3 the depth of the chamber for a pilot hole, does anyone follow this suggestion?
I'll soon be receiving an order from Tim West as well, I can't wait to compare

Either way, I'll post a pic of this funky grain for suggestions on what pipe style it may be best suited for. Even though it's Ebauchon, one corner has bark so the grain sorta radiates in an unusual way. But alas, sanding is required for a flat enough surface to see the $@%&?!# grain
