Grendel's Mother - sneak preview

I probably shouldn't post sneak previews but here is one. People keep asking me when I'll post the next Halloween pipe, and my only answer is, "As soon as I can finish sanding this thing smooth". This pipe is the mother of Grendel, from the Beowulf story, based on some sketches I did back in 2000 when I did the orignal Grendel pipe. I had meant to do them together but was too fried after hand-sanding Grendel, so this one got put on the back burner for a while.
