Hi Folks,

here comes my latest effort:








13 cm / 5.1" long, weight 40 g / 1.4 oz., acrylic stem.

Critique, please ...

Regards, Jens

Not bad for overall proportions, but a bit of material needs to come off this pipe in a few different areas. As is, it presents as a sort of made-of-clay pipe, with the lumps and bulges one would expect.

The biggest single factor is that the bowl droops below the line of the shank. This is, in technical terms, a "no no". Then you could remove the excess material (blue arrow) at the bowl/shank transition area - get it really tight.

Likewise, the stem is fat and needs harder straighter lines and more taper.

Billiards sort of gesture - think of holding an apple in your hand for inspection. That's the shape you want. Oppose that to a fist - currently your pipe is a fist.
