Re: # 7 what can improve on

A really nice pipe, especially for #7!! The stem comments George made are the most obvious things. In regards to the stummel, I would agree that the swoop on the rim is at least a little exaggerated. I really don't want to rehash the over bent/under bent debate, but I think the stem is over bent... ...

Re: Pipe Boxes

Uline has something similar. Don't know if they'll have the exact size you're looking for.

Re: Straight Billiard

I don't typically offer much critique since I'm pretty green myself, but I'll give you my thoughts for whatever they're worth. First, I really like the color and I think it works pretty well with the white stem. A little too much material was taken off the chin of the pipe and not enough on the back...

Re: PITH 2015

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to back out... I really hate to, but things have been super hectic lately and I don't foresee much chance of having my pipe ready anywhere close to the deadline.

Re: PITH 2015

Thanks Premal! Do you think the stem needs more bend? I did several drawings with different bends, and this looked the best. It seems swan-like. Good lookin' pipe! IAWP that the stem needs more bend, but if it were me I wouldn't bend it too much more. I wouldn't follow the typical "parallel to...

Anyone interested in splitting a table in KC?

Apparently the tables for the KC show are sold out... Anyone have any extra table real estate they would be willing to sublet?? I promise to be a good neighbor. I'll likely only have 5-6 pipes with me so I won't take up much room.

Thanks!
Mark
