Yeti Pipe #50 Braxton

[PremalChheda]

Thanks for writing this Tyler, I think you're right. I honestly appreciate this kind of feedback. It can be tough to hear when I've just spent 15-20hrs on the object being critiqued, but these are all things I need to hear and take to heart. I'll definitely work on the things you've stated.

I'll come back and re-visit this pipe once I've made a few more, and I'd like it if you'd give me a second round of critique on it.

Also, as far as colors go, would you say it'd be better to keep things in the reds and browns to complement the cumberland?
(less of the golden yellows)

Cheers!

I do not think you have to do anything to change this pipe. It is a very good saleable professional pipe. You could possibly re-bend the stem, but everything else you really should leave alone. Move on to the next ones.

For what it's worth, I agree with Tyler and Premal. Take the notes that Tyler offered you and apply them if you create this design again. Let this one go.

I wasn't planning on re-doing this one, I'm just going to make a new one similar to it, bearing in mind the critiques I've received.

Micah,

Finish looks fantastic. Did you do the French Kiss method we talked about?

George and I may have to stop calling you a Whippersnapper

Premal, are you willing to tell us what the French Kiss Method is?
Thanks.

It involves a lot of tongue plus bodily fluids, hence the shine. It's a little messy but creating art is rarely a clean process.

When we say we're put a lot of time and passion into our pipes, we're serious.

It is a little complicated but think French Polish adapted to very small sculptural surface and the goal is to not build up a layer. Pure mixed Shellac, some sort of oil, and cheese cloth is what you will need. Try it out. Check out some information/video on French Polishing.
