Pipe #2 Progress Pics *Update #3*

Post by bbeberle »

Hey everyone, since I think everyone enjoy the first progress thread I figured I would do another for this second pipe.

I got some great advice from Rad, Tyler and numerous other people and am looking forward to applying that advice and seeing how much I can improve on the mistakes I made on the first one. So again, this will be another poker and hopefully I can get this the way it needs to be! And thanks to Tyler for getting me set up!

Here we go....

Wooo I finally posted a picture correctly!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update #2 I have about 2 hours worth of work here so far. Obviously I have a lot to work on but if you see anything, please let me know! Be honest! I can't get better if no one tells me about my mistakes! Thanks yall :) And no the shank is NOT cock-eyed this time. I just forgot to put it back in before pics











--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update #3 I think I got the shank/stummel transition like 95% done, very close...not quite yet but very close. The shank also seems a tiny bit thicker towards the stem (which is not finished yet), so I will need to take care of that. Now the bowl....it looks slighty curved on one of the pictures but I think it's the picture because it looks damn near perfect on my end. What are y'alls opinions?

I really like the minimalist design. Not sure its a poker, but it is beautiful. I think it might look better with a bit of stain on it however.

well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

How about a cavalier with a severe forward cant? :lol:

I'd call that one a stacked poker. It's lookin' good! Nice block, too.

Thank you sir. I tried my hand at my first hand cut stem and i failed big time lol. I got one last shot and if that fails too then this one will just have to sit for a while until I can figure something out.
