I love the paneled side and shape/bend. The stem materials also work wonderfully together.
My guess is that the Delrin tenon will last a lot longer than any other part of the pipe. A recent Larry Roush pipe I worked on also used a Delrin tenon.
It looks like the interior of the bowl is also finished - how do you accomplish that?

I smoked 2 half bowls of Three Nuns to break this in. I'll start full bowls tonight. Everything about this pipe is fantastic. It was well worth the wait. Dan really outdid himself. His stem work is really fine art.

ssjones, that is done before the stummel leaves the chuck with graduating higher and higher grit paper on a dowel, my finger, sometimes a sponge while spinning the chuck. I guess I should have used a disclaimer "Don't try this at home" LOL!

I have to watch folks don't clean our meat slicers in that manner, which is a bit more risky!
That is a neat detail.

Thanks Zak!
ssjones I have 30 yrs of food buis background and remember years ago a deli guy cleaning a slicer at the end of the night and reaching over it from the back without the guard on....and running it at the same time to dry it, he messed up one night and the ambulance drove up a one way street to pick him up, i was amazed they got there in two minutes, yes indeed respect your tools!
