I chose my next pipe to be a brandy, as it seems like a fun shape that I could apply what I learned from my author.
i based the design more on Danish brandys than English, as I like the more pronounced brandy shape.
and I am much happier with this one than I was with my author. I feel like I got the visual weight a lot better and in a better spot. i do think that the stem is a bit too long.
though my only real problem with it is that there is a bit of a subtle flat spot on the bottom line, below the tenon area. but that's something I've been working on, and it's better on this one than my last.
I would like to work on my bending technique for the stem next.

Re: Bent Brandy
You are improving fast.
The biggest issue (no pun intended) is too much mass around the "equator," which then results in too much mass "underneath." A minor issue is a small line break on the top of the stem/shank junction.
The shank/bowl junction also looks a bit soft.
Keep up the good work!
