Notes:  These particular Prince-shaped stummels seem to have a better-than-average percentage of excellent briar among them - I consistently get beautiful smooths and blasts at worst, with very few stummels discarded of this shape.  This one is unstained and quite beautiful.  I utilized a new trick in finishing it - a light application of a natural tinting process that brings out the grain depth in unstained wood without actually being a stain in any way.  I'm really pleased with the look, though I suspect it is probably too subtle for most people to even notice - It's mostly evident in the stronger grain contrast compared to most unstained pipes, and in a deeper translucency of the surface.  Pretty!
