[pipetongue1]

Even' All, This pipe called to me as soon as I saw it listed, a 3/4 bent, 3 knuckle bamboo, chamber bored correctlyat the bottom, about a grp. 5, smooth rim which I like,air chamber opened to 5/32, chamfered tenon, bamboo also attached as is tenon by Derlin, the reg. of bit to shank so extraordinary I had to email the carver to see if it was a one piece stem!, He called me back to tell me it did indeed come apart, I see great smokes for this pipe, oh it is hand rust. also. Ken :tongue:
