Middle it is. It was my first choice but I wasn't sure. Bob I didn't know either. I started rusticating and it sort of happened! LOL!

darker is better with briar I always think. Less contrast between bowl and stem. Course, then again... I am color blind :|

numero dos. 3rd stem would look good if the bowl was a little darker. Yellow stems are a funny thing for me. I like the way they look, but something inside me prevents me from buying one. Most of my pipes are rugged and nature-ish without a lot of flash or pizazzzz.
I might like to commission a deer hunting woodsy pipe. Camo colored & swirled lucite stem. Maple finish w/ partial rustication at the bottom of the bowl, around the rim, and close to the stem. The rustication would need to be dark brownish. I think a half black half brown transition for the stem would be neat. Shape wold be a LARGE full bent sqaushed tomato with a brair wind cap.

Thanks guys! I will probably work on this one more tonight if I can get my right hand to settle down. Darn arthritis has it pretty swollen.

I'm a middle of the road kinda fella so of course I like the middle one..Actually the reason why is the color of the stem matches the bowl.I like that.The pipe looks really great.
