Question for you, Is it sandblasted or rusticated?

 

[papajoe]

Wow. Nice. Me want Me want. :D

And it looks sandblasted to me. She looks to even.

That's rusticated...there's a 90% shift on grain direction from the bowl to shank....and grain doesn't grow that way... (But a very nice job on the rustication...)

 

[sjfine]

That is beautiful.

Thanks for posting the picture. We all love pipe porn! :clap:

100% rusticated. Your bit needs some work. My teeth hurt looking at it.

What is the wood? The inside of the tobacco chamber is discolored, either form smoking or from really dull tooling. I assume its briar but am at a complete loss on how that black ring got into the bowl if it is unsmoked.

That's a great looking pipe. The colour of the stain and the stem really go well together. Is the inside of the bowl stained? It appears to be the same colour as the pipe's exterior. ::

Its an affordable italian carver that made me a pipe, I wanted a dark brown sanblasted with cumberland stem. He did not have a santblaster so he did the sanblast (via) rustication, took him 3 hours. I do appreciat a mans hard work( and fingers). I think its nice, and the "sandblast" is very hard work for a carver.

Thank you!I think it is....... I dont have the actual pipe yet. But im fond of the "delicate" look.

 

[clickklick]

I get it now. You bought it. Well in that case, I hope it was cheap!

 

[rx2man]

@ clickklick you are hard man to please. I think the pipe looks great. That is a crazy rustication to mimic the sandblasted look. zack24 hit it on the shift in grain but its a really good looking rustication. The lip of the bit is a little thick but the bit itself looks thin enough. Overall a really nice looking pipe, I like the staining.

Adam went all old school on the poor pipe lol :nana:
Good critique though Adam. Geirove please tell the Italian pipe maker to come visit us on PipesMagazine.com
Cheers,

Chris

Beautiful. Maybe the most attractive rustication I've seen.

 

[clickklick]

I've been known to be honest. I'm just concerned is all. I expect a full report on how it smokes. A full honest report. I have some reservations.

 

[agnosticpipe]

Very interesting rustication, looks cool! Hope you enjoy smoking it, and as long as you like it, that all that really matters.
