Jens, is that a reverse calabash shank?

[Jos]

Hi Wayne,

no, no reverse calabash - it's not that thick, actually ...

Hmm, I'm trying to figure out what I think about this one. Perhaps my issue is that there is no real taper in the shank, I feel like it needs some. Visually the shank is over powering the bowl which is affecting the overall balance and potential flow to this piece.

I hope this helps,

Interesting piece; does the design have a historic precedent? It has a vintage feel to me, like something you'd smoke after descending from your private zeppelin. Facial hair preferred.

Nice work!

Thanks for yor comments !

Micah, you're right, it's definitely plenty of shank for a little bowl.

No, not actually ... though the finished pipe made me somewhat think of a kiseru.

Had to look that up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiseru

Great pipe, no matter, but evocative, too.
