Finished this one up yesterday. I got pretty lucky with this piece of briar so I didn't have to blast it. There are a few little things that bother me about it. As always I would like to hear your thoughts and critiques on it.



Thanks for looking
Abe

Thanks for sharing, that is one beautiful pipe!

That's a good looking pipe, LAH. I don't see anything to critique.

Wonderful pipe! I love the flow.

Very nice!

That's a really nice pipe. Curious to find out what you don't like about it.

Also, did you bend the stem slightly or did you shape it that way?

Maybe I'm seeing things, but is there a slight dip in the rim of the bowl? I'm looking at the third from last pic.

I'll admit that's getting really nitpicky. It's quite a nice-looking pipe - cheers on getting a clear briar.

Thanks guys.

I think that the back, or is it called the front, the side that the shank is on, of the bowl could be a little more curved, instead of having it curve and then kinda straighten out. I think that would help the flow a little bit more. I'm happy with the way it turned out, but whatever I'm making, whether it's a pipe, a musical instrument or whatever else, in the end I always find something that I should of done a little differently. I tend to be very nitpicky with my own work... I had bent the stem slightly.
