Humidor, you are off to a pretty decent start.

You are getting a good finish on most of those, which is more than lots of us manage! In terms of shape, I think I would offer the generic criticism that all of your pipe look like they are assembled from pieces... there is no real flow, and a lot of angle changes from stem to stummel, or shank extension to briar. The workmanship looks pretty good, but it looks like the focus on workmanship maybe distracted you from the overall presentation?

Sasquatch, I think you're right, I concentrate on details, and maybe I lost the overall shape.
This I have to learn.

thanks

I agree with Sasquatch. The finish and workmanship is pretty good, but the shape needs a bit of work.
Waiting for the next one now!
By the way, what is the inlay?
