Finished this Danish style Dublin up early this morning. It's very light at 32 g. The tobacco chamber is 3/4" in diameter and 1.68" deep. The airway diameter is 9/64". The bit thickness is 0.16". The mortise has a Delrin sleeve that makes for a very smooth, nice tenon fit. The stem is German ebonite. It passes a pipe cleaner easily from bit to bowl. There is a small flaw/fissure on the bottom end of the shank that you can see in the second picture. I probably should have sandblasted this one but decided to keep it smooth for some reason. I feel like I'm getting a better handle on my stem lengths. I have a tendency to make them too long and therefor unproportionate. Let me know what you think. All criticisms welcome. (I'm getting better at stamping, too. )

Hi Wayne,
really a nice pipe. If I may say my mind: I see on the third photo that for me the proportions are wonderful! Also the stem fits really well to it! But my opinion must not be important.

Beautiful pipe... I really like your idea of using derlin as an insert in the stummel.. haven't tried it yet.. but will someday.. a brass ring would have added to it .. set between the briar and the derlin.. so you couldn't see the derlin.. but that's more on the personal side...
