A friend came to me with a pipe kit and asked me to shape it as a gift. No real guidance, just "do what you want with it," so I did.

The natural color came out really light, but it will darken with use, I suppose. Overall I think the shape came out okay, but I'm not a fan of this type of stem. It's a pain to sand, for one. Next time I do a freehand, I think I'm going to try to refine the swept-back top on the bowl a little more. I like the idea of it, but I'm not sure I nailed it this time.
