shaped out my third pre-drilled briar today (pic heavy of course)

If I t wasn't you doing the rustication, I'd say Leave it Alone! because of the striking grain on this one, but I know you'll do something cool. I can't wait to see how this one ends up. Surely a pipe that will make us all proud.

I completely understand. I started out like smooth pipes but the tactical appeal of sandblasts has completely dominated my collect for the last dozen pipes or so. I know you can borrow a regular one but have you considered renting a dry ice sandblaster just to try? I don't know how it would work but no clean up or sandblast box are a plus worth trying it.

That's a remarkable piece of briar that you've unleashed, Jason :worship:
