Classic English Billiard...
In light of recent thread conversations, I thought I would repost this classic English billiard that I originally posted about three years ago that got ZERO comments/critiques. I really don't understand your apathy, fellas. Not even the first yellow line. My only conclusion is that it was perfect an...

Re: First Meerschaum Cutty
Been a while since somebody got into a huff. I've got pipes that have been on here for years without a single critique...you guys suck. I'm taking my ball and going home. Jerks.

Re: Pipe #17. Rusticated Billiard
Pretty well done overall. The only critique I have is that it looks like the bowl/shank transition could be just a hair tighter. Might want to get some betters' feedback on that though. Nice job.

Reject pipes..
I bought some reject pipes from Steve just to piddle with since my shop isn't set up yet to make pipes. Anywho, the lot had 7 or so of the same shape. I reworked one a little yesterday. And I haven't posted anything in forever. So...here you go. I'll finish it up at some point. It had a giant flaw t...

Re: Straight/Bent Dublin With Bevelled Rim
I tough to go back to a "finished" pipe and start hacking at it. You made some good improvements with this. Well done.

Re: Bent Apple For Your Comments
My main critique is the proportions are off. The shank is too skinny and not long enough. Bowl shaping looks pretty good though.

Re: My seventh pipe, completed.
To give a positive word as to your work as well...Stem/shank junction looks great. Stem, overall, is pretty good. And your shaping on the bowl in regards to its cheeks looks nice. If you ever get over to MS, near Jackson let me know and I'll treat you to some food and we can grab a pipe at the Count...

Re: My seventh pipe, completed.
I think you'll find a straight shank looks odd as well... what you really want is A VERY SLIGHT taper in the other direction. It's a word trick the eye and brain play. The bowl is a bit more English or classical in design, a reverse taper, like you have here, is usually found on a bent pipe of more...

Re: My seventh pipe, completed.
Thanks JMG, I did think that looked okay, but after reading your comment and thinking about how it would look with a straight shank, I have to agree that it would look much better, It hadn't crossed my mind sooner. I had noticed a very slight taper when shaping it and I thought it was a good look s...

Re: My seventh pipe, completed.
I'd recommend taking out that reverse taper on the shank.

Re: The pipe that got a second chance
I simply wrap a little sand paper around a pencil or a length of delrin and use that. Not the fastest, but works well.

Re: One for George
George, what do think of some of Gustavo’s (Martelocuhma) stem bends? They look incredibly well done but certainly not a consistent, gradual bend.

Re: Now for something completely different...
While the stem work looks great, I didn’t think it looked like yours.
