It seems I need as much help in my photo taking as I do in my pipe making. Looking for help with both.

I do feel much better about this pipe then the others so far, I was able to bring the grain out with the use of a black stain then sand then a brown stain.

Jeeper, well done, except one thing: over-bent stem
Next time either underbend the stem or bend it so that the tip is parallel with the top of the bowl, imo...

Thank you for the feedback. It didn't look quite right to me but I couldn't figure out why, I couldn't look at it objectively I guess.

I changed the stem I like it better, it's got just a little bend towards the tip now.
