Spent a little quality beach time with Greta on the weekend, so today was strictly a shop day- finished out my first Cherrywood Sitter w/ Bamboo and Cumberland Stem...this one's heading to the Nashville show...

Is cherry wood the shape or the material? I love the shank and stem. The bowl texture

makes it look like a seashell. I thought a cherrywood shape was cylindrical with a slant-cut

flat bowl bottom and usually a bent angled shank and stem, and I'm not sure if this is an

interpretation of that. Oh well, not to be tiresome. It's a great pipe, a lot of good textured

bowl to hang onto.

Originally, (as near as I can tell) the Cherrywood was a poker variation- distinguished by the stem being at an angle to the bowl. I guess you could call this a Cherrywood Freehand- Scott Thile has some great examples of this (as a matter of fact, I was looking at one Harris loaned me when I came up with this design)

Stunning pipe, Zack, just gorgeous! That is right up my alley and i really want to try a bamboo pipe, as i have heard great things. How much are you asking for this beauty, if you don't mind me asking? And would you be willing to part with it before the show?
