The shank looks much better on this one. A little wavy near the bowl, but a definite improvement. Now it's time to focus on the stem work. I assume that is a preform? I say that because the portion Of the stem before the saddle seems a bit long. Nice work overall.

I really like this, alot. As noted, the shank on this is much better and really sets off the pipe. Love the bowl design.

One thing you might consider is losing the little elevated rim around the bowl. With it being that thin, you're inviting a careless light to burn it down.

Thank you Rad for the suggestion ill make sure not to put any more thin rims on a poker pipe. I was just trying to experiment new things.
