I'm gonna be weird (weird) and say I like the half saddle, it gives it a nice twist... or maybe I just like half saddles. Great looking pipe, I love brass.

That's no2?! /me looks in shame at his 30,450th

Good job!

Yeah - nicer than my bajillionth. Great work man!

I love that finish! You used brushes on a dremel or similar?
Good stuff!

Welcome sir!

That turd makes my decent pipes look like turds.

I'm still very much a noobie - but it seems to me that the first three should be: Blobs-> Pokers-> Billiards-> My reasoning is - a cylinder that's not a cylinder might be easier to see for the beginning pipemaker than a roundish shape that isn't the right roundish shape. They can improve their contr...

yeah get it on handmade-briar for sure! heh

Absolutely killer horn!

That is a really cool shape! I dig this pipe!

That is a killer pipe!

Thanks so much! - I hadn't thought of moving the stem taper back. The pipe is chunky and actually my fear on this one is - I love the way it sits currently and will probably lose that when I remove more meat - although if I do so on the stem too, maybe not. I'll keep filing. Thanks again!

I've decided to start posting all my pieces, even if they are embarrassing. The intense critique and feedback will help me improve. Thanks in advance! Before I get much further, I wanted to post what I've done so far so I can implement corrections etc. Sorry about the horrible lighting in these pics...

I'd have to go w/ Talbert just because I love the Goblin and Halloween lines SO much. Love the nightmarish looking pipes.

I love it! - And can totally relate re:sticking w/ one or two shapes etc.
I ALWAYS seem to come back to cutties and pickaxes (well inspired by those shapes).

Great lookin 'warden! Would be a great shop pipe. Another try or two to work out the lines and it'll be pwn!

I got jaws like this they are awesome! My only feedback is - would be nice to have grip pattern on the other side too so you could turn em around for small blocks - like pen blanks, stem material etc.

Love the rustication. Be a sweet, tough little guy.

beat it up w/ a rough rasp, forget it on the beach for month, retrieve it, and finish as desired. heh
