As mentioned in the previous thread, the bowl is too big proportionally and the button is too narrow (and the slot ended up too big). I think I probably still needed more off the cheeks and chin, and there is some incorrect waviness to the lines (still learning to see how things change once the stain and shine are on there), but I hope it's not too bad an effort. I tried to really slow down and be patient and get things as right as I could - I know it's far from perfect, but I am proud of the fact that I took my time, tried to be diligent, made the best pipe I'm capable of making right now.
Biggest things that jump out at me aside from the above are:
- I'm fairly certain I overbuffed it with the tripoli - a few uneven spots color-wise and I pushed into the grain pretty considerably (I think I hit the trifecta of too much speed, too much pressure, and too hard a wheel)
- I didn't get the bite zone as cleanly polished as I would have liked but was afraid to rework it anymore because it's already ~3.85mm - that being said, it's vastly improved over my previous effort.
Anyway, feedback appreciated as always. I'll probably make another ill-advised bent tomato or something next with my last ebauchon block, and then do another learnin' billiard. Thanks again all.
