No Tyler, but I did highlight it with a high purity nuclear grade white marker.

...with 1 coat of Carnauba Wax applied. So its now my new Latakia Dedicated pipe.

Thx gang. Its the thickest pipe I have and I'm now able to see why they are enjoyed by so many. Right in my price range too. The Great Spirit provides!

That's a fine pipe for the money. A great traditional shape, and admirable grain.

Willmers on smokingpipes.com right now are $85, $110, and $145 right now if short-term memory serves me.

The crayon did better Id say. Yea, it was in the wee hours when I snagged it.

I like the way it smokes, resists heat well. I'm using it for Latakia blends or Condor only. I still like This Rossi better. They have similar high contrasting type grain to me. I believe the Willmer had been stained before I used a dremel green buffer wheel on it.

Any thoughts on the wood of this pipe? I wonder if its walnut and not briar? The picture of the bowl upside down showing the rings is the area that makes me wonder most. I cant say Ive really seen any briar burls quite as pronounced as that.
Comparison pics anyone?
