I purchased a GBD Bermuda bent Dublin, in pebble grain, recently.
It is only a month old and starting to develop cracks midway down the shank: one running with the shank and another perpendicular to it on the top of the shank near the bowl. The crack running with the shank does not seem to be expanding, but it is getting darker. The other crack is recent and seems to open when the pipe is warm. The shank itself is triangular.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I'm concerned about what this means for the future of my new pipe!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
