Oh man... tis a shame, must have been dropped.

The only thing I can imagine is that there was a flaw in the briar that didn't show during carving. I've done woodworking for more years than I'm willing to admit and I've never seen wood react like that.

 

[unclearthur]

I have never seen anything like that. I am amazed!

 

[wallbright]

Could you still smoke it with a shorter bowl?

I love the "Engrish" at the bottom of the auction. It just proves that universal translators are a long way off.

WoW instant shock load fracture . Only see that in shafts that have sheared under laod . The high spot is the inital fracture the rest is caused by time slowly working its magic . Too bad

 

[bubbadreier]

That is so sad I would still want to own it just to say I own an Ivarsson pipe!

 

[hilojohnny]

That is just sad, sad, sad.

[bubbadreier]

Duck tape and wood glue and it would be good as new!
