Partially Blasted Freehand

Post by d.huber »

Hey guys,

Just finished this one up last night. I completely forgot to sand the chamber before I took photos. :?

Also, I had planned on blasting the top of the shank as well, but we ran out of media while I was blasting and I won't get another chance to use a blasting setup until sometime towards the end of January... so I got impatient. :P

There's a spot towards the front of the bowl where I somehow didn't sand through the understain enough and it left a little bit of a muddy spot on the finish. :banghead:

All that being said, here it is!

Very nice man! I think the biggest "flaw" if you could call it that, is the top line on the stem. It might be an illusion- not sure, but it feels a bit wavy. I may be wrong though. The partial blast is really interesting for sure! Good work as always!

Cheers!

David,

Excellent job, bro. Not my cup of tea aesthetically, but looks well done. I really like your bit work.

You're getting "uber" fast at making these now!
