This is my first post on this forum (after my introduction) so i hope i'm doing this right.
Here are some pictures of my 2th and 3th briar pipes.

Going to the next level is what i want so i'm really curious what you think about it.
Thanks.

Yeah. Unfortunately, sometimes when you upload through tapatalk, the pictures don't show up on tapatalk. Weird, huh?
As for the pipes, I think the tubos design has some potential and the rustication looks good. The shank on that one is thinner in the middle than on the ends. I think it would look more next-level if you strive to make the top and bottom lines straight on a straight pipe.
Typically, when you make a stem that's not the same diameter of the shank, you'd see a flare or saddle of some sort. What you have isn't quite a saddle. To bring it to the next level, make the next one a proper saddle, leaving the stem round until the saddle and then make the saddle itself nice and steep downwards with a narrow (between 2-3mm--use a small round file of that diameter for shaping it) radius.
On the second pipe, I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to be. Acorn maybe? The same thing with the stem on that one, but on the shaping, there are lumps around the bowl that need to be smoothed out.
If you start with this, you'll soon get to the next level.
