Hi All,
Just finished this one up. Has a couple flaws, but critiques welcome.

Lovely pipe. I would like to see a bit of taper on the shank and a lot more taper on the stem, but that is personal taste.
The stummel is gorgeous and catches the grain very well, despite those flaws.

I find the edges on the button to be a bit sharp. It's hard to say anything specific beyond that, as there's no real clear pics of the button.

Thanks smurf. Good pics are hard to get for sure. I will try to get better button shots. I appreciate the feedback.

Hi Pipedreamer. Thanks for the feedback. I am working on a bowl coat recipe for future use. I think it looks nice. Like chrome rims.
