Pipe C12

Nice grain and just a little rustication on this interesting pipe. I'm not sure if there is an official name for this shape but I always think of them as shark fins. Grain is really good and the birdseye along the top is average. Two areas of rustication pass through the shank. This is actually the first handmade black acrylic stem I have done. This acrylic is somewhat translucent instead of the usual solid opaque black, so if you hold the stem up to a light the button end becomes a smoky gray with the thinnest areas being the lightest color. Pipe is 7 inches long and weighs 79 grams. Tobacco chamber is 3/4 inch across and 1 5/8 inches deep. Small flaw on the middle right side of the bowl can be seen in the last picture.
