"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"
well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin
"but what would be smoking to excess?"
Why smoking two pipes at once of course

Everything on the bowl that is drooping beneath the shank has to go (arrow). The shank is the lowest part of the curve or flows into the lowest part of the curve on every bent brandy or bent billiard that isn't a hawkbill.
Shank too short, stem too long to compensate. Overall proportion is right but the visual effect is off because of it.

What Sas said...
And your shank-stem junction looks wonky on the first one.
Edit: pretty grain on that first one(just my opinion though)

Re: so here is two of four that I will post today
thanks heaps Sas
I kept having issues with the top one and couldn't understand what it was and why it was bugging me but I kept going. Now I realize that I bent the shank the wrong way. If I hadn't have done that, I wouldn't have taken more off behind the bowl and the sweep would have been way more natural. As for the shank... the block was the block. I didn't take anything off of it. Should I have made the bowl smaller to give more length to the shank? then a shorter stem? Overall just down sizing the whole pipe?
I am really pissed off, that grain is so amazing, and I fucked it all up. Thanks for helping me guys, I sincerely want to improve. I will be making basic shapes for a while and will appreciate all the critique and help I can get

There's other blocks. Don't beat yourself up about it. This shit takes practice and a lot of thinking/learning.

What Sas said. He's a pretty smart guy for being such a hairy ape.
