TheGingerPiper Pipe No. 1

[thegingerpiper]

Howdy!

This is my first pipe from scratch, a little nose warmer dublin, with a full acrlylic stem.

Things I know I botched:
-Briar placement, grain patterning. I have since be exploring the briar indepth prior to selecting where the shape will go
-the stem as a whole, the shape and the funnel are rough, I have been progressing

Thank you,

TGP

I know the bowl is slightly canted, I was going to try that with a bent stem to give it a bit of movement, but had issues with my first tenon and it did not work out for this pipe.
