I usually don't post to often on here, although I should. In fact I think this is going to be the first time I post something , so here I go.
I would have to agree with Tyler on this subject. When I first started making pipes to sale, I did a lot of spot rustication. Well after awhile I started to notice that my pipes with this type of rustication did sell as fast as my full rusticated pipes. When I ask my customer how they felt about spot rustication, they express the same thoughts as Tyler.
So now days, if there's a sand pit on the shank, then I rusticate the whole shank and leave the bowl smooth. the only time I spot rusticate is underneath the bowl. Other then that, I usually rusticate the entire pipe.
