How many pipes does this make for you? Seriously, this is a nice piece of work. The extension transitions look good; the stain and finish really bring out the grain. I had to search for something to critique on.

To me, and this is a personal opinion, your symmetry could be a bit better. With a freehand we're usually granted a bit of leeway in the symmetry department, but I've always thought that symmetry is essential. It's also a very difficult area to master. Look at the bottom of the pipe. One of the shank lines extends further than the other. There is also a slight bulge in the shank.

Overall, very good. And a lot more symmetrical than some of my pipes! I can't wait to see another.

This is my sixth pipe- and thanks for the mention on symmetry- I see what your saying for sure. I feel like symmetry in the bowl area needs leeway cus' the plateaux is not even, but your right about the bulge- subtle, but its there. I'll pay more heed to my symmetry on my next pipe
