My project for July 4th was a Canadian- turned out pretty nice...6.5" and 41 grams...

Beautifully shaped and balanced, but the crowning glory is the sandblast finish: exalted!

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I like the look of the button on the stem. Is that a yellow and brown brindle? It's hard to tell from the photo.

Zack:
I love Canadians and I'm slack jawed gobsmacked by this pipe.
The shape, the blast, the coloring.
It's all there.

The heavens don't pay much attention to such matters, but pipe collectors do-that diamond-shaped shank? (can't tell from the picture how many facets the shank indeed has) boots the pipe out of the Canadian/Lumberman/Lovat/Liverpool family as all of these shanks are either oval or round; the Canadian is oval.

That is an amazing Canadian. I love the grain, the blast, and the stem. You do some great work. I have been waiting to see this shape from you. Canadians are my favorite shape. I started putting together a seven day set and can't stop.

@4nogginsmike - Mike, you're correct in that it would be considered a Canadian Variant- the shank is actually an oval coming down to the two lines on either side-
Saw a very interesting Canadian shape by Michael Lindner that is currently on Smoking Pipes where he used a true diamond shank...
