Wow! That's the first tomato I've seen that actually looks like a tomato! I wanna' take a bite out of it (but that would probably hurt). Better to just smoke it. That's a beauty! Nice work.

Nicely done. I'm a big fan of the tomato shape. My only advice would be to maybe have a little less bend in the stem. That's a personal preference, of course, and there has been any number of under bent vs. over bent discussions/debates over the years.
Wow what a very nice little tomato i love it awesome job. Reminds me when i used to picked them off my parents yards when i was a kid. Thanks for sharing your art and labor.
Thanks for all the comments guys. I appreciate it.
Some of them make me think I made it look "too" much like a tomato. For me, when I'm going after an Acorn, or a Tomato or some other shape that is named after other non-pipe things, it's my goal not to try to carve a Tomato or Acorn, but a pipe that is reminiscent of a Tomato or Acorn. It seems like a fine line and I certainly haven't mastered it yet.
I think you walked the fine line perfectly; it's evocative. Now if you'd used a green stem with little leaves on it, that would have been over the top.
