Mike,

I really like the rustication....has a very natural/earthy look. Cool beans!

I agree, very earthy feel to it. I also like the shape of your pipe. The forward cant is very cool.

Thank you for the kind words and especailly Ranmdom for the tips. I certainly agree that speed of the cutting bit plays a large part in how it "goes". Whats funny is how much different a pipe looks once I slap it on my scanner and look at the image. It realy is an unflattering way to view a pipe. Looking at it, I certainly have more work to do on the shank sides.
