Excellent work as always, sir, regardless of what the stem material is called.

Good lookin' apple.

Just for reference, "cumberland" (brindle) refers to the material, not the color. Cumberland can probably be summarized as ebonite with colored swirls in it, which are most commonly, but not limited to, red. That's a lovely piece of acrylic, though.

that material is actually being sold as "cumberland acrylic"

It's likely being marketed as such because the coloring is similar to cumberland/brindle. Common vocabulary aids in communication. Doesn't turn acrylic into cumberland, though.

Can anyone link me to the site where it's being marketed as such? It's not on PME and I wasn't able to find it elsewhere. I don't use acrylic rod myself so I'm unsure where to find it.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I'd say they're using the term for ease of communication.

At the end of the day, that's a good lookin' stem. I'm glad to see you've started cutting your own.
