You are a pipe factory.Stem shank junction appears to go above the line, could be my computer.A little long also.You do a very nice job at the bowl shank junction.A great pipe however.You are a talented man.

Beautiful pipe. But a long-shanked apple.

Optical illusion (?) that it's bigger around at the stem/shank juncture (measuring the screen image with dial calipres here indicates you're fine, but it looks wrong).

Gosh, Ryan, there's so much wrong with this pipe I don't know where to start. If you'd do a little search into the archives here before posting your newbie pipes you wouldn't waste as much of our time.

I suspected as much... Damn you Billiards !!!
I think I always try to make it too complicated. I guess I need to turn a perfect cylinder and just hair of taper at the top ? There is something I am missing here.

Ryan, the bowl is just too short. Stretch the bowl about 1/4" or so, and it will be a billiard. Right now it's a classic straight apple. :)
