I have also learned a lot from this years PITH. I never would have tried a military mount without some outside pressure. Now I have made 2 other sized bits and have made a few more military mounts with different brass sizes.
I also received a very nice pipe in return, and received a very helpful review on my effort.
I would be up for bamboo or an oval shank.
I am not clear on the teardrop with an extension concept.
Perhaps the proposer could post a photo?

The end of the shank is shaped like a teardrop (usually rotated in some manner other than the wider "drop" being at six o'clock) and normally incorporates a cap of some contrasting material. The lines of the shank flow into this teardrop. Seen a lot on blowfish and other asymmetrical desgns.

Thanks guys, now I understand. I would prefer to do a bamboo, but am willing to do an oval or teardrop.
Since I free hand my stummels, an oval or a tear drop would not be as big a stretch for me.

Are there any more suggestions before we take a vote on shape/feature? I'm sure there's a bunch of people still on holiday vacation, so I'll wait until later next week to create the poll. Just a reminder, you can join at any time as long as your pipe is done before the deadline, which will likely be around the end of July.

The poll is open, and will be available for 7 days. I know I said until Sunday, but I didn't get around to creating it until now, so y'all lucked out. The ballot consists of all suggested shapes/features. One vote per person, you cannot change your vote once it's cast, and please, DO NOT CAST A VOTE IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON PARTICIPATING!!!

Hi everyone, I would first off like to apologize for my short coming with last years PITH. Life had thrown some pretty challenging obstacles at me and of course my number one priority is my children. Now that things are starting to settle in and normalize I am getting my shop back in order and will get back to where I left off and can hopefully get more involved with the community again. With that being said, and with your acceptance, I would like to participate in the 2017 PITH

Crap, I voted before I read the "Don't vote if you are not participating." I'm a putz, sorry. I voted for teardrop shank...may it stricken from the record.

I'll subtract it at the end. What an honest fella!
