9-13 Bent Bulldog

[Ocelot55]

Well, I'm almost embarrassed to post this one for critique. There is a lot that can be done better, but I still figured I'd offer it up here to some scrutiny.

Please let me know what your think.

I don't know; I think it's a solid little pipe. The fit and finish and detail work could be better for an artisan level pipe but it's better than most factory made pipes as far as shaping goes. I like it.

That's exactly why I'm embarassed, Wayne. There is just some little stuff on this pipe that wouldn't be acceptable in the "artisan" world, tool marks on the stem, over buffing of the sharp corners, shank is a little wavy, stem/shank junction could be better. The whole process on this one was trying to recover from one mistake after the other. I think I'm selling it cheap enough to compensate though.

What I will say is that the draw is sublime! It's going to be one hell of a smoker I can already tell.

I know I'm new but I like it. I like the style of a bulldog. I know how it is trying to recover from mistakes and it seems like one mistake leads to another. Whether it be making pipes or something else.
