This pipe weighed in at a whole 17g and 5" long. Not sure I could safely make a lighter pipe.
I had planned on it being a good deal larger, but there was a weird place in the plateau that went in really deep. Not really a flaw, I guess, but made me remove a lot of material.

Good job!

I used a tapered chamber bit so the walls actually have about the same amount of thickness at the bottom as they do they top. It's a 3/4" chamber at the top and tapers down accordingly...though I wouldn't go any thinner,

I have hit 14 grams once with one of my "Scottie" pipes. The entire time I was working on it I was sure it was going to break it was so small. Normally they are between 16-18 grams. Bravo for making a regular pipe that light and being able to keep it looking good!
