Hello everyone. I've finally had time to take some horrible photos of the last three pipes I've completed. Two were made with rather narrow blocks and are therefore paneled.
Nothing fancy. The pipe with the side panels ala an Ashton Quaint didn't get the sanding it desrves as the thin walls had me thinking it would burn out. I've smoked perhaps 20 bowls through it and am no longer concerned. I like the shape and may work on a second one very soon.
The other paneled is smallish, being about 5" in length. Smooth rim and bottom. I used a bowl coating of carbon,buttermilk and sour cream. It remains unsmoked.
The other rusticated billiard turned out well except the shank appears to have a slight 'crook" in it.
I welcome comments, critiques

Going to have to find a better image host. The picture was that of three pipes. I previewed it and it was there just a neat as you please. Now, its replaced by an advert. Sorry.
The pipes can be seen through the link below. There are probably going to be pop ups if you don't use a blocker.

Mike try this image host. Resize your pictures to 640 by 480. I'm sure you will find it much better.

I think you can upload to the "Gallery" in the Menu at the left, though I've not looked into it thoroughly. Most ISPs also provide ample room for posting photos . . . though I think some resize and others --- like yours --- are afraid you're going to take advantage of their generosity and safeguard against that possibility.
