"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"

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

Very nice piece, I like it ! The stem could be on the same way that the pipe's shape, I mean a bit destructured (5th picture) but it's your choice to have a small and rounded one, and it's a good one.

Best regards,

The grain is beautiful. Really cool pipe. I am looking at the stem a little funny as well. It doesn't "fit" IMO.

Well, you sanded your chamber so... Crop your photos! :P

Seriously though, crop those photos down so the pipe takes up most of the frame. The pipe looks very lonely with all that negative space around it.

Hey! Look way over there. Is that a pipe? I think it's a pipe but its too far away to tell.

John, I think you did a good job following the grain on this one, but I feel that there should be more definition between the shank and the bowl when viewing the pipe from the top. Right now it looks pretty amorphous.

I like it, but I also agree with what has been said. Either make the stem wider and the same shape as the shank, or make the shank narrower and the same shape as the stem. Either way, I would like to see more definition between bowl and shank.

I like it though. I looked at the pictures and was like, damn, rev can make some pipes!
