Did anyone see this thing on ebay?

After Cleaning it for a couple of hours.

I will get it better, but I have to pack a bowl and see how this huge piece of briar smokes. It is a Custombuilt, the bowl is 2 inches OD with an .875 ID 1.5 deep.

Thank you, it does smoke very well, and cool. I'll have to clean it up a bit better. It is my 2nd Custombuilt.

Wow - someome love it before you got it!!!

That must have been a lot of elbow grease!

 

[photoman13]

you should set a lighter or something to give it some size perspective. That is a cool pipe.

Pack it on Monday, smoke all week.

That's a great pipe, Red. If I remember correctly, Tracy Mincer started the Custombuilt line and later developed The Doodler as well.
Terrific job breathing some life back into this old burner. It certainly looks like there's more than a few years left in her yet.

Not that big of a bowl....most Boswells are bigger than that.
