Hi guys,
Here is my 13th pipe. a Blowfish with Bamboo.
Making this shape is torture. but also a Challenge.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Very nice! It's a shame the wood has so many little pits. What kept you from partially blasting or rusticating?

I can hardly believe the looks of some of your pipes! For number 13 this is incredible. I remember my number 13, what a POS. You have a lot of talent my friend. Once you get the little things refined you'll be making some truly remarkable stuff.

Thanks.
it is a shame the briar is not perfect. If I have sandblaster, i would blast the pipe. and i didn't think any rusticatation would fit the shape. So...
hopfully, i can get a sandblaster shortly.

Yes, the shaping is wonderful; I can definitely see the challenge but then self-torture is really the only fun kind.

Love how the angles of the bamboo knuckles compliment the rest of the pipe! Great job.

Yes, you are totally right.

Beautiful work for being the 10th! The stem/bamboo joint, with the wooden ring, somehow doesn't work for me. But for the rest: well done!

Very pretty pipe. I don't know enough about the blowfish to offer any critique, but I like the bamboo color and the over all design. Great work!
