Though obviously there is still plenty of work to do, and I still just be learning, I honestly think it is a better pipe than the pics imply. By all rights I should have rusticated it but since my last couple pipes were rustic I said heck with it and tried to hide a few briar pricks with darker stain. I tried 2 different cameras and still cannot take a dang picture. Anyhow, enough blabber:
Pipe is 5 & 5/8" long and 1 & 5/8" tall
Bowl is 1 & 3/8" deep and drilled 3/4" wide with a chamfer on the top
Airway is 5/32" in stummel and stem
Stem is a tweaked Lucite pre-formed with a with a Delrin tenon.
Fiebings and Carnauba
Don't have a scale to measure it with but weight-wise I think its ok.
Thanks for looking,
Bill

Thanks very much re the comment on the contrast, I like rusticated pipes but after a few in a row I really wanted to make the grain stand out on this one. Not the best job of it obviously but it certainly has grain
