#1207 to #1210

I haven't posted any pipes in a while, so here are the last 4. As usual, let me know how I can make them better next time!

These all look great, but the liverpool is my favorite. Great job.

Those are really nice. The first one is my favorite. A couple things I see that could take it from good to great: 1) the transition from the top of the shank to the bowl could be a bit better defined, 2) the back cheeks could match the front just a bit better (but they're not too far off.) That's the hardest part of the apple shape to get just right if you ask me.

The liverpool is sharp. The only thing that bothers me is the abrupt taper of the stem from shank to bit. I wonder if a touch longer stem would have been better. The blast and finish are great as is the shape of the bowl.

Nice bamboo work on the elephants foot.

Great work.

Thanks for the comments.
Wayne, as usual, spot-on! I thought the shaping of the first was really good, until I saw the photos! Well, next time!

Handsome pipes all but it's the bamboo elephant's foot (?) that catches my eye.

Charl,

Nice job on these pipes. I particularly like the first.
