Here's my latest. I have no idea if this is more of a diplomat or more of a prince. The button and slot shaping are killing me. The battery on my camera was dying so I rushed and forgot to snap one of the right side.
All criticism and tip/pointers are encouraged! I was working on my first saddle bit today and sanded down too close to my delrin tenon and it went snappy I will remake a stem, and post that one when it is done. Thanks for looking!

Re: Pipe #8, A Diplomatic Prince
There's some improvement going on here for sure! A couple things to work on:
1. Symmetry: especially the picture from the bottom shows a bulge on the right side.
2. Bowl/Shank junction. Take your time with some hand files to take away material around where the shank meets the bowl.
Keep up the good work. You're progressing nicely.

Thanks Jeremiah. I see the symmetry issue. I've been focusing on keeping the sanding smooth so symmetry will be next. For fear of taking too much off I did hit the shank bowl junction with a needle file but you are right, I need to spend more time there.
Thank you!
Anything else guys? I have the next one started.
