Grabow 06 Freehand volcano

[filmshooter]

Does anyone have one or a good color pic of one? I'm eyeing one online but I only have found an old grabow shape chart to go by. The one I am looking at seems to have a straight stem but the shape chart looks like there should be a slight bend. As a matter of fact the straight stem just looks wonky on the volcano but I'd like to see if that is factory correct before moving on. I believe the one I'm looking at has been re-stemmed, and not very well at that.
thanks

Mike

The degree of bend on a Grabow Freehand varies wildly from very slight to extreme, but I have never seen one with a truly straight stem. WV Smokeshop has a couple on their site with the slight bend; take a look at those for comparison.

yep, must be a replacement stem on the one I'm seeing. straight as an arrow and not freehand style, which I didn't notive before. thanks for the tip, never went to their site before

I've done a lot of business with them, never had a single problem. Great company.

The Grabow factory will restem pipes, can't recall the price but should be less than $15 to have them put on a new one.
