Hi everyone. I just began carving last month and am already totally ate up with this hobby. I have so much to learn and a long way to get there, but all of the information I have been able to find here has helped tremendously so far.
This pipe was made from a pre-drilled ebachon kit with a bent stem that I found on ebay. It's not an ideal piece of wood, but I think it turned out ok. I hand carved the briar and trim cut the stem to match. I have not set up much of a shop area yet, so all was done with a coping saw, rasps, and sandpaper. I've since added a Dremel, and am setting up a buffing station this weekend for a better finishing process.
Any feedback would be more than welcomed.

Wow, Dave, very nicely done! It's beautifully shaped overall, and I really like the way you handled the lines along shank and stem, and it flows into the bowl nicely too. Very surprising to see something this nice in an early effort, let alone a first pipe! I'm really looking forward to seeing more from you.
Welcome to the forum, and to pipe making!
Oh yes, I can certainly relate to that! It becomes something of an obsession for many of us!...and am already totally ate up with this hobby.
