Autograph Second (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Most pipes that are carved to wear the Autograph badge are shaped as dublins, billiards, or out-and-out freehands. This pipe is a rather rare rhodesian. I am not sure what led to that shaping decision, usually when one shoots for a rhodesian, the block is telling the carver that the convex dome of the shape will make a great frame for birdseye, yet this pipe is pretty much flame grain through and through.
