Rusticated Oval Shank Billiard
Rusticated Oval Shank Billiard
This is my first attempt at rustication, and I just realized when I looked at picture 3 that I forgot to sand the chamber. As always critiques are welcome.

Re: Rusticated Oval Shank Billiard
You have too much material on the back (shank side) of the bowl towards the bottom of the bowl. Also, it appears that the shank is slightly off center of the bowl. The stem saddle is a little on the long side and the stem overall length looks about 1/2" too long.
Otherwise, it's pretty nice.

Very nice.
I agree with Jeremiah on the tweaks, but my overall impression is good.
Some one will get a pretty nice pipe.
I like the rustication.
