Wow! Some briar is wasted in the wrong hands.

I think I see a possible poor transition on the Stanwell billiard, is that the one you are talking about?
I would definitely want to more views.
Or am I looking at the wrong pipe?

I saw the Charatan, but since your header referred to a billiard, I looked at the two billiards.
I have long noted that the old Charatans had odd divots and such , presumably to carve out flaws in the briar ( or maybe the sander was drunk).

At first I couldn't find it, looked like billiard with stunning grain. But then... is the stummel really THAT far off to the side?

Somebody paid too much for that. Poor fella.
Re: Even pros can get their ass kicked by a billiard...
Beautiful grain but terrible shaping. That pipe is all janked up.
