#6 Long-shanked
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 12:28 pm
Hi guys. This is my latest pipe. I'd like to hear what you think about it.
In general, it's very similar to my 5th pipe. It's still straight, long-shanked pipe with a different bowl shape.
I tried to gather all your comments and use them.
So there is still wooden inlay. I tried to keep it as simple as possible.
I did a forward cant on the bowl.
I improved buffing. It's still not a mirror finish but I'm working on it.
I made a stupid mistake with zebrano inlay. For better grip, I drilled the surface of wooden accent and ebonite and glued them together with an epoxy. I forgot about it and when I turned the whole element the nasty spots have appeared. I decided to leave it as it is. Despite that mistake stem looks better in my opinion.
Another thing which I'm going to improve are sharp edges. Especially in the bowl. This time I didn't manage to preserve them. I'll be working on it.
Feel free to comment. It really helps me.
Regards,
Jakub
