Beautiful pipe. I love that blastMy only pipe with this style of blast isn't very craggy, but I actually love the effect of the subtle blast over birdseye. It's a Briar Bird by Jason Cochey, who I believe is unfortunately not making pipes anymore.

That one turned out amazing. I love how a sandblast almost turns a pipe into a "fossil" of sorts.Sandblasting end grain can result in all sorts of surprising textures, some dramatic, others not.
It's nearly always interesting, though.
This pipe held its shape really well and the surface just got weirdly "pebbly" everywhere:

That's the most crisp blast of Birdseye I've ever seen. Amazing
