thanks
,I actually did sand the chamber yesterday after reading various threads
already concentrating on sanding on my next
thanks for taking the time guys to look and help

yeah ...the shank,stem fit is a weakness for sure...the finishing is noted...just mentioned Dublin as the bowl was angled?

haha...@Charl ....having a lot harder life recently...getting drilled,sanded and stained,loooool [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

dublin poker/sitter? pretty happy with this but should have taken a little more tim on the stem finishing as there are some faint scratches showing through,pretty happy with the rustication but think the stain would have been better darker http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p302/lasgringo/bjv4/IMG_3...

a stubby stacked billiard? slight improvement over my first 2 i feel but obviously still a long way to go...feel the rustication turned to quite nice and the button is better than the last but still needs plenty of refinement...the shellac isn't the greatest finish on the smooth....all advice greatl...

don't really know any techniques yet so after pre polish i just applied black leather dye and once dry buffed off with polish and it sort of left the finish...then carnauba....just a fluke how it turned out i suppose....i gots a lot to learn

after trying to mess with the button and going through http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p302/lasgringo/bjv2/IMG_3445.jpg I took the opportunity to rework a little so I think it's a bit better than original but still a bit of a fatty http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p302/lasgringo/bjv2/IMG_3447.j...

yeah...the bits need some working on...did them myself...slowest speed on lathe which is 700

this was the second attempt and decided to try the anse shape,totally rushed...took about 4 hrs...lesson learnt...bowl shaped badly,stem/shank too fat,button garbage,let me have it guys http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p302/lasgringo/bjv2/IMG_3426.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p302/lasgri...

so this was the first pipe i did...was over the moon i actually got chamber and airway to meet up and created a stem...already I'm thinking what was i thinking :lol: airway has drifted,didn't flare the airway,rounding on the stem/shank meet and no doubt u guys will let me know the rest http://i131.p...
