Bent Billiard, it's large....

Postby asmoke » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:03 pm

I just completed this bent billiard last night. An extremely sharp chisel was used to bring out this craggy appearance. The rim was left smooth to display some cooperative birdseye. The bowl on this pipe is 2" deep and just a hair over 13/16" diameter; it should make for a nice long smoke. It weighs in at 64g, so it's a little on the heftier side of normal. A cleaner can be passed from button to bowl without removing the stem, this will make for less wear on the tenon for cleaning. I really liked how the lines came out on this pipe, it is very clean cut and down to business. I have it listed on my website and on a couple other forums for $150. As always, first PM takes it. Here are some pics:
