Pushback/challenge/"artistic validity" debate/etc./etc./etc. nowhere in sight You won't hear any of that from me. it takes an ignorant asshole to push back on free advice from experts. I really appreciate all the feed back from y'all I just joined this forum a few days ago and have alread...

alright, yeah the airflow is great

So just a sharper bit will fix that or is there way to sand the inside?

It appears to be saleable but can you answer these questions in the affirmative: 1. Are you confident the finish is set properly and stable, and will not rub off on a the smoker's hands? 2.

I was a little worried about this one because I don't have a 4 jaw chuck yet so I just hand shaped this one so it was hard to get the lines just right and to get a perfect circle.

yeah i realized just after this pipe i need some work on my stems this one seemed way to thick to me and i have also learned since finishing this pipe that i want a nice crisp edege on the back of the button and a nice right angle where the button meets the stem. up until i finished this pipe i had ...
