Thanks but all credit goes to mother nature and briar

Sorry guys but can we pretend this fucking pipe never existed? I believe explanation is needed. I wanted to improve the shape and started to improvise. And I got carried away. For a single moment I had a quite decent pipe. I just didn't know when to stop. Decent pipe was not enough. The more I tried...

I suck with this sort of thing (somebody fix this,) but this might give you an idea of a better direction to head in... https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1711/25755957191_6682120e5d_b.jpg Thank you guys. I appreciate every comment and I always take it under consideration but what I'd like to achieve w...

I was disappointed how it looked and almost left this pipe unfinished. It would be such a waste because this briar block has such a nice grain.Still there is much things to do and the major problem is gargantuan gap between stem and shank which is my Achilles heel. When I showed first version to Woj...

Third version (hopefully the last one):

Second version:

Hi guys. Sorry for showing unfinished pipe but I was pretty much excited and couldn't wait till I finish it. It was my second pipe and it has been remade a couple of times.

Still too much. The zulu in my opinion, is not one of the easier shapes. Actually it looks deceptively easy, bu...

First of all, many thanks for the critique. I'm grateful for the time you spent to help newbies like me. - the shank/stem junction has a gap. It's not big, but it's there. I was trying to delude myself there isn't any gap but there is, a tiny one. - the rim appears to have a wobble on the right side...

Hi guys. I'll be grateful for any words of critique. It's my third pipe and I think it's good enough ... at least to be shown. The first and the second pipe you may check on my FB profile: https://www.facebook.com/JP-Pipes-962144290546960/ I have another Zulu in my plans. So I'll try to do it better...
