wow...

Also, if aiming for a true billiard, I think the bowl needs to be shorter by about 1/4".

Uh is she missing hair or something?

Woah!

What Sas said...
And your shank-stem junction looks wonky on the first one.

Edit: pretty grain on that first one(just my opinion though)

Now I want some...son of a !
Wonder what the cost is like to get some to Montana...

I see another block of briar in that picture. You leading us on about not making more?

As my brother so succinctly put it, *respect*. I think it looks great! I really wouldn't change anything, except maybe the lighting for your pictures. No need to make another. Just wait and see how long THAT sentiment lasts... You will be smoking a couple months from now when inspiration will strike...

Have they studied its effect on peckers ?

Alden, try a contrast stain. But no pictures please...

Oh, welcome to the forum! Way to come in

VERY well done for your second pipe. In facct, well done all around. I am not the expert, so take what the big boys say more seriously than what I say. However, I will second ditching the prefab stems if this is something you plan to do for a while. I do think the shank is too small in diameter or t...

Meh...obviously slapped together without a moment's thought to aesthetics.

Keep em coming brother!

If we are gonna pile on Alden here, the back cheeks could use a wee bit more definition to my eye.
As an aside, and I'm not bashing you on the execution here, I hate long shank extensions.
It is just a personal preference and should have no influence on how anyone else makes a pipe.

This could get out of hand REALLY fast... I'd love to help but I am a full
time student who tries to avoid writing in my free time.

Insulate that baby and you are set!

Embarrassing... nuf said.

Great job there Rev! The finish looks sweet.

Normally not a fan of the Poker shape, but this one looks, well.... good!
I will agree with my brother on the stem issue.
Do you have any better pictures of the rustication? I like the look of it.
Well done

Can I double vote? You are a fool and you should go for it!

My Brother, the more active Yeti on this site walked me through this process today.
Scary as hell!


Sure looks nice though.

Knowing that this is your personal pet peeve just makes me chuckle in an evil, villainous fashion.

Could you make me a Gandalf pipe? PLEEEAASE?
