Anyhow, now I have a question, and it's about dimensions in the canadian family of pipes. You see, I know that I have read that the shank should be twice the hight of the bowl, but I'm struggling with the definition of "bowl hight". Therefore I made a little drawing (see pic).
What is meant by "hight of the bowl" exactly? is it the "A" line in my drawing, or the "B" line? Cause if I make a canadian with a shank twice as long as the "B" line (which in my mind is the hight of the bowl) it looks super-duper-ultra to long, but you know, if that's the way it is supposed to be I will of course make it that way. That's the reason I'm asking.

To me it looks more correct if one sort of folds the "A" line down for a standard billiard and double that lengt for a canadian.
To take it one step further, what is defined as the shank? I guess from where the bowl ends, or is it from the centerline of the bowl or something.
Very basic questions for someone who has been making pipes for as long as I have, but there you have it!
