1 Ounce Dublin
I love making small pipes, although I'm thinking of refinishing this on to lose the glue band.
Length 14.5 cm 5 11/16"
Height 4.7cm 1 13/16
Chamber 2x4cm 3/4x1 9/16
Shank Diameter 12mm 7/16

Very nice!
I really like the long shank and its line, though I think it could be improved a little bit - the shank band (nice, is that horn or horn-colored acrylic?) seems to be turned straight/cylindrical, making the shank curve interrupted at the band. I think if you just turned the initial part, and then hand shaped the rest into a smooth curve just like the rest of the shank, then the whole would be super nice

Looks nice except the line of the shank really bothers my eyes. It's very pretty until it hits that kink in the middle.

Re: 1 Ounce Dublin
I agree, it looks great except for the line on the shank- I think it needs to be a continued curve for this to work. Also, look closely at the base of the bowl at the shank junction- I think there is something amiss with the curve there.

I hate to say this, but bamboo is the answer.

Re: 1 Ounce Dublin
Cool but where's the Dublin?
Re: 1 Ounce Dublin
The bend in the shank does mess with the flow. I'd probably soften the transition from shank to bowl a tad.
I like the horn accent (if it's not horn, well I like it anyway).

Re: 1 Ounce Dublin
And there's me thinking this was near to perfect
Looking at the pipe in hand I think the problem is the ends of the shank, it straightens slightly at the bowl and mortice and with the straight extension kinda looses it. There is not a lot of wood left to play with, roughly 3mm, so no alterations are possible.
I call it a Dublin because of the chamber shape, it is possible to make the same shape bowl with a billiard chamber.
If the answer is bamboo what was the question?
