Same here as Masis, I won't be able to participate in this years PITH as much as I would like to.

I'm going to participate this year too. I would suggest an acorn, since that wouldn't require a lathe for the newer pipe makers

I love your pipe seamonster, I saw it on Instagram and hoped that it for PITH.

Here is mine, I'll probably be done by 15th of August

Am I the only one not seeing these images?

Welcome to the forum Mike! May you use the knowledge, bestowed upon us by the elders of pipe making, to create spectacular pipes and to expand your skillset!

1. I usually go for a 2 degrees slope to the prior angle starting from around 1/3 from the top of the bowl, and then I just round it off. 2. Yes, I have found out that most of pipe designs work better if you "push" the lowest part of the bowl a bit behind the center line of the bowl. 3. Th...

I agree with Massis, it looks good for a "first" pipe. First of all, your shank and bowl junction looks pretty well defined. Especially for an early billiard. So we'll done there! Second, the "chin" of the pipe should have a bigger radius, right now it looks kind of abrupt. But t...

Welcome Matt!

ah what the heck, count me in! I'll try to get one done this year :P Although I do personally believe we should restrict the category slightly by saying "No 'Danish' freehands". You see the PITH is all about becoming a better pipe carver. If there is ever a "shape" abused by new...

No need to contact Tyler. Looks like Premal has taken on the responsibility on glueing this event together. If he has included you, you're fine. I can't wait to see all the entries for this year!

I'm done! Not very proud of my work, but I learned a few things while making it.

These are the three that I did, recipient gets his choice. The photos are not proportional. The dark one is the largest tobacco chamber, the acrylic stem one is somewhat the smallest. https://imageshack.com/a/img921/7685/UTucDL.jpg https://imageshack.com/a/img923/3827/2u7wGq.jpg https://imageshack....

I am almost done with mine, just need to dial in the lines!

Looks better! I think that if the chin had a bit more material then you could make an awesome billiard out of this one. Try to finish it, you could still learn a lot on stem work. Smoke it, analyze problems and think of a way to improve. What docaitch said, a sanding disc is very convenient and rela...

I can see that you are moving forward! I'm no expert, I'm quite inexperienced, but I want to stress out what Sandahl said. You need to take your time on the initial shaping, the shank/bowl junction need to be crispy (I think) It's one of the key elements to making a good looking billiard. Don't be a...

I heard this was a great place to learn and lord knows i have noble reasons thank you all for having me Yeah, full of tips on technique. Since you noted that you haven't made a pipe yet, the question follows: Are you familiar with a basic procedure of making a pipe? Sent from my Redmi 4X using Tapa...

If we're throwing suggestions here, then I'm going to add:

Incorporating a live edge on pipe

That could produce some interesting results
