Hello all,
I've been without a shop for about 20 months now, but have just recently started making pipes again (pictures to come).
I have kept up with reading the forum, and have noticed a lot of experienced pipe makers comment on the style of a pipe (i.e. billiard, Canadian, apple, etc.) and wondered if there is a resource available that defines styles through paragraph or picture.
If you know of such a resource I would love to know about it. Even though most of my pipes are freehand and probably lack definition, I think it is very important to know the traditional styles as well.
Thanks and good to be back!

There's a few different resources and standards, but this goes some way:
