Drinking's Pipe #4

Post by The Smoking Yeti »

This is my brother- The Drinking Yeti's fourth pipe. I bullied him into doing a billiard-ish shape.

Critique the shit outta him.

I think you have horrible taste in brothers

the pipe is very nice though. I am too new and stupid to know however, so take that with a grain of salt

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

Is the stem a pre-fab? Looks pretty good to me.

Yeah, I didn't let him go messing up any of my nice Ebonite on this one. Maybe next time he can hand cut the stem...

Definitely a prefab stem. Though modified pretty heavily.
It was my third attempt at a stem. The stem/shank
transition suffered because of that.

Nate is. Don't ask how. Rad is also our un-involved father figure.

For #4, I'd say it's great! What's going on with these guys having their first several pipes so much better than my first several? We must be sharing too much information here or something, because people seem to be getting good too fast. :wink:

You should be proud of it. While the rustication isn't conventional, I think it looks pretty cool, and I would say you did it in a what that showed artisanismship. There's something about the height or shape of the bowl that catches me looking at it twice. I feel like it might be a tad too tall or too skinny, but I can't say for sure.

Very nicely done though.

Great Job.

Brian.

The forward cant is a few degrees severe. The stem needs a better polish and is about an inch too long but it's a prefab so not much control over that. It's a very nice fourth pipe.
