Another two!

Post by iLeo »

Hello every body!
There goes another two:

This one is special. It is by far the lightest pipe I have ever had/done. I dont have a scale (I´ll get one) but believe me It´s a feather weight!

Well, not much criticism, but I do want to point out a couple of very minor things.

The first pipe looks pretty good. I'm not sure what I think about the stem shape. It's grown on me a little, but I cant help thinking something else might look better (don't ask me what). It also wouldn't hurt to sand out the tobacco chamber a bit more.

The second pipe also looks pretty good. My only comment is that I would have bent the stem ever so slightly to help the flow.

Your doing some really nice work. I had to fight really hard not to offer to buy the billiard in your last post. A few more pipes and you'll have this thing down! Good job. :thumbsup:

Ups! I forgot about it! :oops:

Regarding the stem, it gave me problems too. In fact I did two. The first one was acrillic, shorter and wider. The definite one is handmade german cumberland ebonite.

The stem is slightly bent downwards, but not very clear in the photos. I´ll post another one. Did you mean that? More?, less?

Thank you VERY much for the advices.
Best regards,

I see now that the stem is ever so slightly bent. My advice would be more bend, but not too much.

Almost like the bend on this meershaum:
