I LOVE what you did to the plateau on that bowl! What a unique look, and it really sets it off from the rest of the textures. Great job.

thanks folks.. it would have looked better unrusticated... the grain was awesome.. almost straight all the way around and it flared a little on the stem.. BUT briar being a root it was not to be.. just little sand pimples ... I do like the way it came out though.. and tks again for the comments

You made a kick-ass pipe from a piece of unfortunate bad briar! Great one!
