It's (or it WAS) all chin - a bent pipe is not just a straight pipe with an angled shank. Have a look at the Peterson "Professor" shape and see how they balance a 1/2 bend with a heavier curved shank.

So are you meaning to chunk the shank up and make the curve flow from the bottom of the bowl up into the shank? Just so I'm clear. Thank you, btw.

Not necessarily make it chunky - a Dunhill LC shape is not, for example, but when you look at a bent pipe, the lowest part of the arc on the bottom of the bowl is really never occurring in the midline of the bowl - it happens further back, which relaxes the shape and makes it less awkward (moving from a straight shank to the round bowl bottom).

I see, Thanks. Yea, it definitely makes sense for that to be that way too. It gives a little more curvy features and looks much better.
