MM Mark Twain cob with plateau?

[Corncobcon]

I had to get my mind off of something that happened this past week so took my Dremel grinder to my old Mark Twain cob. Since it had a larger flat top, I figured I would try to rusticate it and make a plateau top on it. I think it came out ok.

Here's how it looked before it got the drill!

Conrad, that turned out quite nicely. I like it a lot actually.

Thanks, guys. I added some darker stain to the top. Unfortunately, my camera batteries went dead, so I'll post pics when I get some new batteries. I think the darker stain makes the plateau stand out more. Ofcourse, that will all disappear when I start smoking the pipe again and scorching the top!
