CR0008 This is a Cruiser made from Cork Oak with accents of black
buffalo horn. Cork Oak has coarse, widely-spaced grain that feels great in
the hand. Also, this piece has a bit more of a matte finish than most of
my work. It's slightly shorter than standard at 3-1/4", the "chunky"
appearance is further enhanced by the profile of the foot and the three beads
cut into the body and lower accent ring. The internal tool is cut from
3/16" stainless steel. $60
CR0009 Cruiser in Amboyna Burl with synthetic amber accents.
This particular piece of amboyna is loaded with birdseye and, but for a couple
of pits, is fairly smooth. The internal tool is cut from 1/8" stainless
steel. $60
CR0010 Cruiser in Lacewood with accents made of synthetic
mother-of-pearl. Lacewood is a smooth-surfaced wood with a longitudinal
grain pattern that looks a bit like scales. The internal tool is cut from
1/8" stainless steel. $60
CR0011 Cruiser in Briar with accents of synthetic amber. The briar
was given a light red stain to accentuate the flame grain of the body and cross
grain of the cap. The internal tool is cut from 3/16" stainless steel.
$60
CR0012 This slightly out-of-focus Cruiser is made from a very
nicely grained piece of black cherry burl. The wood is quite smooth and
reddish in hue; the darker burl pattern is echoed by the accent rings of black
buffalo horn. The tamping foot is approximately 9/16" in diameter, making
this piece better-suited to larger-bowled pipes. The internal tool is cut
from 3/16" stainless steel. $60
CR0013 Cruiser in Rosewood with Ivory Micarta accents. Rosewood is
another of my favorites; it has a smooth surface, beautiful grain, and finishes
to a rich luster. The internal tool is cut from 3/16" stainless steel.
$60
