Dunhill Root Briar (5102) (2003) Tobacco Pipe

This Dunhill Root Briar presents quite a fine-stranded flame grain on either flank, albeit in a pattern that does flicker quite a bit here and there, as well as an underside covered with a good dose of birdseye. Though stamped as a Group 5, I'd say it's easily a Group 6, really, as the bowl's external dimensions readily dwarf those of my personal Dunhill Group 5 bent Dublin, and the chamber is about a good quarter of an inch deeper.
