I kept on having to sand my buff off and re stain because the wheels were too thick. I finally took a new wheel out and broke it into thirds so I could have a thin enough wheel. Even with that I still buffed a little unevenly around the shank.
I spent way too much time making the stem because I thought it was a little boring with a saddle, but I had a lot of fun making the pipe.
Critiques and comments are welcome!

I had a dream last night that Todd Johnson chose 3 of my pipes and opened one of pick your favorite answer threads on pmf, but there were 4 options. The last option was "None of them" which most people chose as their answer. Then he proceeded to tell me why my pipes are terrible and I should stop trying.
I woke up and almost immediately went to the shop to get to work. Maybe I should take a step back. I spend so much time reading stuff on the forum that I even started to dream about it.
