i like it very much. very nice coloring and finishing. I'm a little confused about the way the shank narrows right at the shank/bowl junction. i feel like you lose a litle of the flow of the pipe by doing that. overall though some very nice craftsmanship.

Moin Jens!

Du merkst: Alle meckern an der Taille rum. Entspricht nicht der Sehgewohnheit. Hat aber nüx zu sagen.
Ich bin nun mal kein Billiard-Fan. Auch nicht von solchen mit Sollbruchstelle. Trotzdem: Schöne Arbeit.

Cheerio!

nice job shank does narrow at the bowl watch when you file that close.Ican't tell by the picture for sure but the the bowl seems very narrow which can make it smoke HOTTTT Love the stem Bob Clark

Hi,

That's absolutely right and was, in fact, not intended that way. Unfortunately, I sawed too deep, and so I had to do the narrowing... or throw it away.

regards, Jens
