Number 7.

Limited time allows for a few number of pipes...But here is number 7. Delrin tenon, NYH cumberland (very dark stock).

Nice rhodie! You've seriously got some good stuff going on in this pipe.

In profile, your shank increases in size towards the stem. It's tough to get a totally rounded straight shank. Did you shape it on the lathe?

If the stem's taper began where it meets the shank, I think the overall look of the pipe in profile would improve.

Top and bottom views look great! I'd recommend using something other than a brad point bit for the chamber. I've done that myself, and quickly moved away from them. The circular divot on the chamber floor is undesirable.

Keep it up!

Is the stem hand cut? It looks like Brindle in certain shots. If you cut it by hand I think you did a very good job on the bit.

UberHuberManBroGuyDude covered most of the rest.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, the chamber bottom is a result of a modified spade bit (bugs me too). Close to the tip is a line left on the bit. I need to grind that out.

I did Turn this on my Taig. The shank is uniform in diameter. I sanded and sanded to remove a deep scratch by the top shank/bowl junction which resulted in a gully making the shank appear tapered.

Yes, the stem is hand cut with a Delrin tenon. NYH cumberland. Very dark rod stock, you have to look close in hand to see orange lines.

I wanted the stem to be a straight taper, inexperience this round.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was able to fix the bottom of the chamber taping some sandpaper to the end of a delrin rod. Smooth transition to the bottom now. Very happy with the results.

And, I have sold my first pipe!

I would look for sharper edges in a rhodesian like this. Gives it a cleaner look.

Sharper edges (angle) from the two rings to the bottom?

Thanks for the input.

I was mainly referring the the edge between the top and side of the bowl. In the 5th picture you can see it looks like it got rounded over in sanding.
