These are the latest pipes i've finished.
It took a while to finish the rusticated pipe, because i had to find some shellac (apparently not that easy here in Denmark).
Anyway, i've got a lot of "firsts" going on through the summer, like first poker, first billiard, first lovat and so on,
but i've also tried new techniques with staining and such. And last but not least, i began making pipe socks!
first one is a bent billiard/egg kinda thing, with my first attempt at rusticating:
The next one is my first poker. This one had some beautiful grain! i hope it shows well enough:
... And the two new babies together:
Two new: first poker, and first time rusticating

Nice work!
I think the shape of the egg is really close. There's a little pinch in the stem about an inch from the shank that interrupts the line. I would recommend a straight taper from button to shank there.
Now make another!
