This one gave me fits and I just did the best I could with the mistakes I kept making. Please let me know what you think.
Happy New Year everyone!

Re: 121203 - Lovat (last pipe of 2012)
Good job on that one! The Lovat is one of my favorite shapes!
Just a few minor shaping details. First I think a little more could come off the back of the bowl (front for Tyler) nearest the smoker. Just make that line match the front line. Next I think the cheek line in the profile pick could be rounded a little. Finally, and this is just my personal preference, I think the saddle stem would look better with a more definition between the transition of thick and thin.
All in all I really like this one, Brandon. I think it shows that you're getting much more comfortable with this.

Thank you guys.
Yeah I was wondering about the back of the bowl.
Saddle bits scare the crap out of me because I use delrin tenons. I'm always freaked that I will sand or shape right into the tenon and it will show. I've done it in the past.
