Notes:  I'm in the process of finishing up four of these straight, classic billiard shapes as part of the drive to get more (and more varied) LBs into the catalog.  We're approaching another farewell, too, as I only count ten more of these stummels in stock, and barring unforseen discoveries in the briar cavern, when they're gone, that will be the end of this shape unless I procure new, similar stummels from another source.  
This large billiard differs from the others in a couple of ways - The shape is subtly altered, for one (The shank is cut shorter, to match the bowl height), and it sandblasted excellently.  The blast is deep, very detailed, and the briar emerged so perfect and flawless that I've left the entire pipe unstained and completely unfinished.  I don't particularly like unfinished pipes myself due to their vulnerability to staining and discoloration, but I know they have a very devoted following out there and I thought I would offer this as an option, since I could.  I'll be happy to apply a protective clear finish if the buyer wants, or leave it as is if that's the preference.  In keeping with the "naked" theme, I also left out the usual bowl precarbonizing, but I can add that in also, as the buyer prefers.  Interestingly, due to the shank length cut-down and the deeper blast, this pipe is a solid 10 grams+ lighter than the other examples of this shape.
