Yes, that is a pretty cool texture; I would imagine it might almost feel like a very rough grain leather in the hand. Looking at that makes me wonder if anybody has ever tried lightly don't want to make it too thin) rusticating then refinishing a basket pipe that had fills....I like the rustication on this one, it reminds me of elephant skin...
