Very sleek design man! I think the grain failed you big time... I'm just trying to imagine if the birdseye hadn't thinned out... would have been stunning.

As is these are some awesome lines! The only thing I'm getting hung up on is the stem, just past the bead it looks like its too square on the side. I'm not sure if this is just a bad angle though.

All in all this is a great piece.

Rev
"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"

well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

Nice job. I'm certainly not qualified to critique the blowfish, but I really like what you did with the stem. Very pretty.

The shaping of the stummel is wonderful but I suspect it would look better overall if it were darker, more subdued. Very nice work; congratulations!

Yes, it is a bit square on the side. but i think it is ok for the overall looking. :P
