121201 - Prince Warden

Post by bandkbrooks »

The first of two new ones completed just before the apocalypse. The inserts are cocobolo and marble wood. Please excuse the terrible photos again. Please critique. Happy Holidays everyone.

Another great pipe! It looks a smidgen too shank heavy for me, but that is being really picky. Good job.

Thank you. It is amazingly light as a feather too.

The shank is heavy for the bowl. Other than that it's a solid pipe.

I would add that my personal preference is thinner accent rings. I feel that a ring should be thinner than it is wide. Still though, good work.

Wayne are you talking about just the shank or the shank plus the transition to the stem and rings.

Yeti I see what you are saying. That's a good design/visual balance observation. Thank you.
