Notes:  Photography hell!  Geez, these unfinished pipes present some photographic challenges.  The color of the pipe is identical to the top two pics, not the lower two, which are much more yellow-tinted.  The pipe is actually pale tan, the color of beach sand.  The previous unfinished pipes have been so popular that I wanted to post one more.  It's actually quite rare to get these pipes, as it is rare to find a piece of briar so flawless that it can be left totally unstained in any way, without even some basic brown tint to help hide a black spot here or there.  I suppose I find one that can be left unfinished like this perhaps out of every fifteen or twenty pipes I make, at the most.  In keeping with the "nude" theme, it has no precarbonization either, and thus will require the usual extra care in breaking it in.  Should the buyer desire, I will be happy to apply either precarb or finish, as he wishes.  This one is just about the perfect billiard size, hovering somewhere between a group 3.8 and a 4.  Light, pretty, and shows off an excellent ringed sandblast grain pattern.
