Third of the new LB Collectors, this one is in the middle of the size range and has some subtle differences from the other two. When I started working on these, I approached them with the attitude of seeing how much variation I could wring from what was essentially the same shape and each is accordingly different in many minor ways. This pipe, for instance, has a tight shank to bowl connection, filed in very sharp to make a hard connection of two individual shapes, whereas the other two pipes both thicker joining curves from shank to bowl, which mirror the underside curve of the bowl bottom. Also, I got a bit more extreme with the rustication here, riddling the surface with deeper carving and making it more like coral. It's a nice effect, though too labor intensive to do often for a pipe in this price range.
