Scofield Pipes "Heritage"
Scofield Pipes "Heritage"
I get to keep this one for myself... I cracked this by pressing it down on a dowel rod too hard
Alas! At least the crack was only there cause of the extreme pressue on the dowel rod. So the crack is there but came back together nearly perfectly. Sort of nice for me because i REALLY like the way it came out and I've only ever kept crap for myself. What do you all think?
Standard criticisms are welcome and desired.
FYI, I called it Heritage because the inlay is Oak. Because it was Oak and Oak seems to be very American, I thought that Heritage would be a fitting name.

Ben,
That is a very nice pipe. I like the shape and I really like the staining.
I am working on a pipe right now that I plan on keeping for myself. Kind of my late Christmas present to myself.

Hey guy!
Nice looking pipe. I'll echo the previous two folks in lauding the staining. The stem does seem a bit thick to my eye. Perhaps a thinner stem would make it more graceful. Additionally, I think some sharper edges on the top of the bolw would make this pipe a real looker. The rounded edge on the scoop seem a bit soft. The stem fit looks right on. Nice job on that!
All in all it looks like a keeper!

Ben,
What is the shank extension material? I know you said you were working on one with an oak extension, is this the pipe?
