Bent Brandy

[Sickle]

I chose my next pipe to be a brandy, as it seems like a fun shape that I could apply what I learned from my author.

i based the design more on Danish brandys than English, as I like the more pronounced brandy shape.

and I am much happier with this one than I was with my author. I feel like I got the visual weight a lot better and in a better spot. i do think that the stem is a bit too long.

though my only real problem with it is that there is a bit of a subtle flat spot on the bottom line, below the tenon area. but that's something I've been working on, and it's better on this one than my last.

I would like to work on my bending technique for the stem next.

You are improving fast.

The biggest issue (no pun intended) is too much mass around the "equator," which then results in too much mass "underneath." A minor issue is a small line break on the top of the stem/shank junction.

The shank/bowl junction also looks a bit soft.

Keep up the good work!
