Hello everyone.

This is a pipe I finished a few days ago. It has a cumberland stem and a light orange stain.

I think the pipe turned out pretty good, but I'd love to hear what you guys think as always.

The fit and finish are nice on this. The shaping looks intentional to me. Nice work.

I wonder why you made the front of the bowl come up as far as it does. Maybe you can explain your thinking behind the idea.

Well, I wanted to make it look elegant and somewhat "pointy", kinda like a ships prow (not that ship's prows are very elegant but anywho...), which is also the reason why the front of the bowl seen from the top has a kind of a rounded pointiness to it.

After it's all said and done however, I do realize some things that would improve the elegant posture I was after. first of I think it would benefit from a slightly heavier forward cant, so the angle between the shank and the back of the bowl would be at 90 degrees. And secondly, I would probably make the top of the bowl a little more curved, like in the picture below.

Thanks for the crituque.

Very nice. I wonder if a very slight bend in the stem would balance out the angled rim a bit aesthetically even though it's a straight pipe. It's a nice looking pipe with excellent fit, finish, and execution as far as I can see.

Makes me think of this guy's work:

Also, props for tackling an oval shank.

My thoughts exactly, LL!
It's looking good! I'm with Wayne, maybe a bit of bend would have helped the flow.
Btw, it might just be the pics, but I do not see the cumberland? Or am I starting to get blind on top of deaf (according to the wife).

Well, you should'nt be to worried about your eyesight, at least not on account of my photography. I'm looking to upgrade my lighting a bit in the near future, cause even though I think the photos turn out okay I'd like to have them a little more brightly lit.

Here you can see the cumberland.
