[QUOTE="glpease, post: 42276, member: 18"] I mostly agree with you. There's something about the shank of this piece, and the treatment of the mouthpiece, that drives the lines towards stasis, making it look very much like a sausage - in fact, very much like a pølse, a long, thin Danish sausage. I prefer my pølser on bread, not on a pipe. ;) I'm actually surprised to see this come from Lars's hands, as his treatment of long, sweeping shanks is usually much more elegant, flowing and dynamic. The wood truly is gorgeous, though. BUT, when it comes down to it, I'd always choose shape over grain. A beautifully cut pipe of flame grain will always appeal to me over a less than exquisitely cut pipe of spectacular wood. Of course, considering the price, and the fact that there are not nearly enough Kroner in my piggy bank, it's completely academic, anyway. -glp [/QUOTE]
