After talking to the future owner he loosened up a lot, gave me some example images and a rough size requirement and told me to do my thing. He wanted it half-rusticated, with some grain remaining, an ivory acrylic stem and the accent is African Blackwood.
Size requirements ended up at a 22mm bowl, a 42mm+ stummel width, 80mm-ish stummel length and an overal length of 220-260mm.
Pipe ended up at 43mm width, 80mm stummel length and 245mm total length. By far the longest mouthpiece I've cut so far but I think it worked out ok. I definitely think the overal shape has a better symmetry than the last one I did (especially the cheeks) and I finally got rid of the remnants of the drill hole on the button side, allthough there's still an improvement to be made there I think.
There's a slightly lighter patch on the left side's stain, which I never noticed in person but shows up on the pictures.
I also think my pictures are slowly getting better. I rather like my current setup (Canon eos 750D, 55-250mm F3.5/5.6 and a Foldio 2 lightbox) allthough I'm still playing around with lighting.
