Sandblasted Foursquare Panel Gr6, Ebonite Stem

In the classical English shapes, I had not yet had the chance to make my weapons on the foursquare and it is through an order that I attacked it. This is far from easy to achieve and I am not too unhappy with the end result. The briar, of Spanish origin and with more than 30 years of drying, was initially resistant to sandblasting but the patience ended up paying: after several hours of sanding, the rings revealed themselves. The dark burgundy stain reinforces the British look, giving this pipe both a classic look and a strong character. The chamber is generous (22x50mm), as much as the walls are thick. The stem is cut from a bar of German ebonite. The flock is teflon and the shank drilled at 4.2mm. The slot of the mouthpiece (concave) is well open in V for an optimal draw.  The briar, of Spanish origin, has benefited from more than 30 years of drying and is therefore perfectly ready for use.
