My 2nd attempt at a bent pipe

OK, this was from a pipe kit I got last year. One issue I had while making it was the fact they who ever bored the tobacco chamber drilled so deep with a pointed bit that the bottom of the tobacco chamber is more than 1/4" below the draft hole. Hence, the major sag at the bottom of the bowl. I was too scared to take any more off in fear of sanding right into the chamber. Other than that, and the pit on top of the pipe, for a second attempt it could be better I guess. It is what it is as they say....

Your finishing looks good, but you can make the top of the bowl-shank transition crisper and more defined.
