Very cool. The bowl shank tranition looks a little soft to me, but all in all a dang nice looking pipe. Love the blast! And the finish, with the red and black highlights is wonderful.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you nick about the transitition between the shank and the bowl. I'm going to spend more time on that area on my future pipes. Thanks again for the comments and if anybody has any criticisms I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,
Josh

Josh,

Nice work. I agree that the bowl/shank transition could be sharpened up a bit.

One other comment, at the stem/shank junstion the line could be cleaned up a bit. On the first photo it is most obvious. If you follow the shank through the stem, there is a slight bulge din the stem just beyond the junstion with the shank. This bulge should be taken out, and have a nice smooth taper to the button. Also, from the side view, the button could be finessed a little. It is a bit clunky.

In all a nice job though, and I am envious of your ability to blast!

Tyler
