Let me know what you guys think. Seriously. I am not getting the kind of feedback I used to. I don't know if that means my pipes are bad or if they are just so mediocre there isn't much to comment on. Both bad.

Well, I'm not going to include a lot of photos of this one. First, because my photography sux, second because I didn't get too many "non-glamour" shots suitable for critique.

"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"
well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin
"but what would be smoking to excess?"
Why smoking two pipes at once of course

I'll toss out a penny's worth of thought.
I think it's good stuff, there are a couple details which could use some cleaning up however.
The cheeks of the bowl don't look like they're shaped quite right, looking at the profile shot they feel a bit contrived, like they don't flow with the rest of the lovely curves. I think that's what throws this otherwise lovely design off.
The last detail is in the stem work, the button could use some weightloss, and the bit also looks a bit thick. The stem bend looks pretty nice- which is always a pain with churchwardens.
I hope this helps
Cheers!

Re: 12-13 Dublin semi-warden
Thanks for the critique Yeti. I think I see what you're talking about. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out, but it does look like the transition between the shank and the bowl occurs a little farther back that it should. There is a sort of crease in the shank that happens before the shank should meet the bowl. And the button probably could be shorter and softened a bit.
Why is it that I never notice these things until the pipe is done!

I like it, but then I'm partial to churchwardens. I see what you mean about the stem-bowl transition, but it's pretty darn minor. The whole shape is pretty graceful.

You don't notice because you love what you are doing. I loved the lines and the bit is fine for many. I like pipes like women, a little fuller but with graceful curves. You did it. Very nice.
