Okay, now I feel like you are screwing with us. One minute you don't know how to put a stem on a pipe. And now you think this one is over bent and there is too much meat on the back of the bowl???? I'm not trying to castigate you, but come on.....really????
BC, love the pipe, btw.
Ok Scottie. I dont know why your questioning everything i post on this forum. This is a forum for critique correct? So how come when I state how i think a pipe looks you get all upset? Im no pro at this. Its a fun hobby an I enjoy it. I question a lot an try to learn as much as possable.

Scottie questioned you because you lack the knowledge with which to offer feedback.
This is a forum of professional artisans and students of a craft. This forum is a school. You shouldn't offer financial advice if you've just learned what money is, just like you shouldn't offer critique in this setting when you've just learned that pipes have stems.
My recommendation here is to take the road of humility. Watch and learn from others until you can make something that is remotely comparable.
All that said, participation is encouraged and welcome. So far your participation has been pleasant. I encourage you to realize that you are amongst very knowledgeable and experienced individuals who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of excellence in pipe making. Keep learning and keep posting, but acknowledge that you have stepped into a community that you, as of yet, know nothing about.
