Pipe #2

[brurobas]

Good evening,

I finished this pipe today.

It is my second pipe and i really like how it turned out.

It has a small pit as seen in the pictures but the grain is nice.



















Please let me know what you think

Well, the basics are established - stem fits shank, shank goes to bowl. It's a pipe! Hooray!

Now you get to spend about 5 years perfecting this system.

I think the most obvious points to refine are the transition between the shank and the stem - that should be perfectly smooth - no bumps, indentations or gaps.

The shank gets very fat at the bowl, and especially because the stem is so straight, it just looks "wrong". You can carve a pipe where the shank gets fat, but that's usually a horn, and the stem needs to incorporate that idea somehow.

It's too bad the briar wasn't a little better on the bowl.

What are the little 'footprints' on the inside of the bowl? Did you reverse chuck the stummel? Just curious.

This pipe was made from a pre-bored block so i don't know what those footprints are.

I'm really liking the color accents in the tobacco chamber. It really sets the piece off.
