The Arbourg

Huge. This was a really, really BIG pipe. It had a bit of story behind it, as I had started the pipe in the late summer of 2002 after we arrived in Brittany, but the initial assembly of stummel and shank suffered one of the seemingly endless series of disasters we had on arrival, and I ended up hurling the thing across the workshop and being done with it for some time. However, many months later in 2003, I found the stummel still around and tore the whole screwed-up initial assembly apart, then re-did the pipe from scratch until it finally ended up quite nice.
