Hi
i like Morta very much but i never have such material in my hands, so i cant say anything about the finish. Maybe these pipe have to be buffed with carnauba a little more, i don't know for sure.
About construction, there are few items i would like to point:
1. on the first pipe the bowl - shank junction should be a little more clear and the bowl shape should be more clear too.
2. for me, the second pipe is best of the 3. I am not sure but on this picture it seems that the mortise is drilled upper than the center line
3. For the third one i can't see much looking from this angle. The only thing is that the front of the bowl (this part towards the shank) maybe should be oval not flat.
Hope this helps
Best
