#31 - Bent billiard

[BrianMadsen]

Here's number 31, a bent billiard with camel bone.
It's the first of my pipes to feature a shank cap, and i really like how it turned out!
Comments and critique are more than welcome

It could just be the lighting, but it looks like the top line of the stem is a tad bit wavy. Otherwise, that's a pretty classy looking pipe. My PITH pipe this year has a faux ivory shank cap with a black band, so it has a very similar look to this pipe.

The shank is a bit large for the bowl.
The exterior bowl walls a a bit too straight.
A little more rounding to the rim would have been nice.
The stem is too small for the shank cap, you want it to be a tight fit.
The Ebonite ring is too large, it should be a wafer, a/b 25% its current size.
The cheeks aren't bad, but could use a little more definition.
