prince #2
Another shot at a prince. Finishing up on this guy and would like any input before cleaning it up the rest of the way. Likes/dislikes, what would/should I change? This is the first integral tenon I've done and it went fairly well, will have to do a slightly larger tenon to put the rings on then turn it to proper dimension. I ended up with an ever so slight groove on the tenon at the face, trying to face the ring.
Specs are:
bowl height = 1.45
bowl width = 1.53
chamber = .75
chamber depth = 1.24
length = 6.25

Re: prince #2
Too wide at the top but fixable. Follow Scottie's link to the KC pipe club contest and look at the example posted.
Re: prince #2
I think the bowl is too tall, and too symmetric top to bottom - Princes usually have a bit of "pudge" and you want a squat, open look to the bowl, ie, not a proper apple, which is what you have here. It helps with the long lean presentation.

Re: prince #2
Thanks for the input guys, think I'll leave it as an apple. It is almost without flaws and I'd like to finish it as a smooth. Will get on another stummel and try to do a proper prince.
Re: prince #2
Probably the best idea, yeah. Wrecking something good to try to make it perfect is stupid.

I can not see the pictures. Is there something I need to do to view them? They show a black square and says image beside it. I've tried clicking on it.

Not sure, are you using a Mac? DocAitch has trouble seeing them too unless he uses a different computer.Pillichody wrote:I can not see the pictures. Is there something I need to do to view them? They show a black square and says image beside it. I've tried clicking on it.

Re: prince #2
Hmmm, what browser are you using? Looks like IE has dropped opening some jpg images. Could try another browser, I use chrome and can see them on all my devices. If you do use chrome you may need to go into settings and allow all images.Pillichody wrote:I can right click but then everything is grayed out and cant click on.
