I posted incomplete pics of this one a long time ago... Here it is done, and pictures taken in my new studio box, then doctored in Photoshop to get a proper representation of the color of the pipe (except the stem).

What'dya think?

Nice, clean lines, smooth taper of the shank and stem, I like it. Nicely done.

Ben

One of my favorite shapes to smoke from and it is nicely proportioned. Definitely worth packing.

Wow Ben, that turned out beautifull! Very nice stain, which sets off the grain (nice grain too). I love your shaping on this one. I remember thinking it had great potential when you first posted it unfinished. Turned out be a really nice pipe my friend, and it's especially great to see you back in action!

Nice staining bud. The color really came out well. In the other thread too, the tones look much richer. The shaping seems a bit tentative to me. I can't seem to decide whether its a billiard or a Dublin.
