Hey guys, sadly I’m gonna have to back out. We’re packing everything up and moving to Northwest Arkansas in three weeks. The place we’re moving doesn’t look like it’s going to have the space to set anything up. This move will be a good thing eventually. Timing could be better for sure .

So should we do another vote and take the live edge out?

I like seeing birdeye also, This is one I did awhile ago. Are we leaving all the plateaux,or is this okay?

I’m in. It was a huge learning experience last year.
Eric was extremely helpful with his critiques

Haha Nice!

I’m finished and ready to go

Okay thanks, that’s an easy fix.I have to say I smoked it this afternoon and I’m very pleased.I figured I would go a little wider with the bowl.It’s a half inch chamber and an inch deep.

Here is my first attempt at an Author. After seeing the pictures I see issues with the stem. I also see
I have a bear problem in my garage, I didn’t see the claw marks until now .
Please give critiques on all you guys see.

Okay cool. Ebonite or acrylic were my choices.I was just asking because there was a brief conversation about acrylic early in the thread.

What stem material are we using,or is it open

I’m really looking forward to this! The more time I spend in the forum,the more I learn. When I read and look at the pipes in the gallery I just think I should give up,but something keeps drawing me back. It embarrass me when I think about the 7 pipes I’ve given away already. I may be skipping steps...
