still struggling to get the shape right. Any advice and all critiques are welcome, thanks, Norm.

Nice pipe. Your button is too short. The top of your stem should not be concave. The sides of your stem as seen from above should be perfectly parallel.

Do you have a smart phone? Just take pics with that.

This is what I've started doing. I'm way happier with my photos now.

I do not have a smart phone but one will forced upon Me in the near future( free upgrade ). Do you mean the the button should be taller top to bottom or wider front to back? Thanks for the good advice, Norm

IAWE. The stem from the profile and top view have what the kids are calling a little "whoopty doopty". I believe he was talking about the button height from top to bottom. The button actually looks too thick from front to back. The shank and band look good. The bowl should taper towards the top. It almost looks like it is wider at the top than the middle in the first photo.
