This 20+ years aged briar has a tight straight grain all the way around the bowl. The shape is complex in that the bowl is canted left on a shank that swings to the right. Still, there is symetry in the bowl when viewed on its true axis through the center. The ivory shank cap is as clean as it comes and is set off by an ebonite ring between it and the wood. In Chicago, a world-renown carver held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and told me "This pipe warms my heart." I think it will warm yours, as well!
