Thank you for your comments guys! I'm very happy with it. It looks a lot nicer than these pics. Will upload some of my own later today.
@Gloucesterman, it is finished! Or to be precise, unfinished. The pipe will colour with use in a similar way than a Meer. It is not stained or waxed. Just natural wood that will colour with use.
@Sablebrush, when I met him today Ezequiel told me thta he is doing the low air ways deliberately, as he belives it contibutes to a good smoke. We'll see...
Would you please upload some pics of how your natural pipe looks now?
Cheers,
