Yes, the stem does look kind of chubby. Should I keep shaping the stem after I bend it to get that right? Or do you make all the shaping prior to bending?Solomon_pipes wrote:I agree with Ryan and Wayne. I would say the stem could be thinned out from tenon to button. It needs a steeper taper.
You mean there should be more of a continous curve from the front of the bowl all the way back the the shank face?sandahlpipe wrote:In addition to taking off some material off the stem, the bottom curve of the shank flattens out too much towards the shank face.
