Just finished this slightly canted Octagonal pipe....

[Lonecoyote]

Which I started many months ago. My Dads old micrometer was used often to get the panels the way I wanted and to finish the flow into the shank. The stem is hand cut Ebonite. Allot of hand sanding of the briar and stem.  I do need to open the draft hole a bit more so a pipe cleaner passes thru easier. The piece of briar I used was over 75 years old from Algeria. The pipe looks even better in hand. Sorry, not the best quality pictures taken with my iPad.

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Yup, pretty pipe! What is the band made from?

The band was made from a piece of copper I had. It's highly polished. Looks like brass doesn't it. Thanks for all of your compliments.
