Commonweal II Sunflame # 2355
Tatsuo's carved Japanese "sunflame" not unexpected from the Land of the Rising Sun. It's called that because in the summer the sun is up at 3:30 AM, caused by Japan being so far north.
The pipe itself is sculpted with a slight asymmetrical rim & the rest of the pipe is a solid sturdy symmetric pot ready to deliver a cool long smoke. The shank extension is Zebra wood & surprisingly the shank has an invisible keele, you can feel it while hard to see, the pipe sits perfectly.
