Very interesting grain, and I love the bowl top/rim. I also wondered if it were something other than briar, but walnut? Isn't that too soft?

You hit nothing but net.
I've been reading about Willmer burners for years and obtaining one similar to yours is on my "get" list.
BTW, you got one of the good ones, pal.
From Pipedia:
"When Willmer first started, they definitely strived to compete with brands in the high-end market. Due to the excellent quality of the pipes Willmer was frequently asked to produce private label pipes for England's best renowned pipe retailers. So many pipes are not easily recognized as Willmers for stamped under the name of the respective shop. Willmer's own pipes were stamped "Willmer - Made in England" and showed a sweeping "W" in white or gold on top or left side of the stem."
BTW, our favorite Cajun turned me on to Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear white nail polish. That stuff has the shelf life of concrete and has done well by several restos.
Great buy, Hawke!

Almost forgot.
I loved seeing Tyler's upside down DG El Dorado.
There was a time when that ED was the best factory made burner you could purchase in the U.S.
I own a DG Viscout - one notch below - and that beast is my go-to, try out burner for any new blend.
My compliments to you both.
