This is the next to the last one I've been working on for PITH 2018, I think it turned out very well. Self critique- I'm still not perfect on my bite zone/crease, probably the best to date nevertheless. Unless the next one is better, this will probably be the one I go with.

Doug,
I'm sorry that I didn't see this earlier. I can't see your photos on my I Pad, only when I use this Mac.(and then it requires a couple of maneuvers)
I think you did a great job on the pipe. The line of stem and shank is perfect, and the bowl shape and symmetry look perfect..
The bowl is slightly small for my taste, but I received my PITH from a well known pipe maker and his proportions are close to yours.
Nice job, well done. If this is your PITH pipe, then someone is undoubtedly enjoying it now.
