Shannon (B11) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

The high-contrast stain of the Shannon series is one of my favorite stains from Peterson. The tan, earth coloring creates an almost camouflage effect, very similar to the Vietnam era tiger-stripes but with more tan. In fact, I am looking for fatigues of this pattern for my paintball team. Applied to this flat-bottomed "B11" bent Brandy, it makes one wonder if this shouldn't be considered a Volcano instead as it sits there nicely on your desk.
