All of these pipes are incredibly beautiful. I love the light sandblasting that fades into smooth on the first one. And the third has a very organic shape. Very nice pipes indeed. :thumbsup:

They are all beautiful pieces. The 1st one is my favorite, as I'm a big fan of churchwardens.

I just gotta say man... I love your work. You mentioned handcut mouthpieces, are all these stems handcut as well?

I really like the Cala; beautifully shaped.

I like the conical tomato (especially the stem work) but I feel like the shank should have curved a bit more to follow the arc of the stem and the bowl. I also feel like the bowl could have been drilled further back or more mass taken off the back of the bowl. All in all, though, I do like your composition and the integrity of your work (shaping, stem/shank junctions, sandblasting and, especially, your finish work) is all very good. Very nice work.

Hi men,
many thanks for your comments and your Critique. That makes me happy.
I cannot blast, the pipes that were not smooth are rusticated.

The mouthpieces of the churchwarden and the calla are not handcut, they only fitted and customized to the stummels. I cannot drill the length of them.
