Folks that read my pipe descriptions know that some pipes have stories that go along with their creation, and some pipes are just serendipitous find that fall out of a block of wood. This pipe has a story, probably the longest story of any pipe I've ever made, and it's long enough to qualify as a epic tale. Or it would be if I wrote down every word of it, which I'm not going to do, since most of it is actually quite boring (like some of the epics that I've read).
The pipe was actually drilled and partially shaped over a year ago, but lacking ebonite large enough to make the stem, I set it on my desk. It would surface once a month or so, and I would vow to hunt down some large enough ebonite. But routinely I would forget, and the briar block would sink back under the morass of clutter that regularly covers my desk. This time, when it surfaced, I figured it had sat unfinished long enough, and it needed to be completed. Digging around in my goody drawer I cam across the synthetic amber that I've used in the past, and I figured why not.
So, short version of the story so far, this is the last chapter in its creation. The next chapters are up to whoever takes this home with them to write.
