Howdy folks,
Pipe #2
-Billiard
-Italian mystery briar
-Contrast staining with Fiebing's Mahogany & Tan alcohol dye
-Pre-mold stem.
What you can't see in the photos: The air hole is at the right depth and centred
What you probably can't see in the photos: The stem was not as thoroughly sanded as it should have been.

I've posted the photos in a link because I was getting a: "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached" message.
Thanks

Not a bad Dublin if you ask me.

Thanks, however I am not entirely sure that I take your meaning.

Re: Pipe # 2 Billiard
The stem should be tapered without a concave curve from the shank face to behind the button. The concave curve doesn't work.
The shape of the bowl is not a billiard, but a dublin, since the base of the bowl is thinner than the rim.
The fit and finish look decent, so work on the shaping next, especially of the stem.

Re: Pipe # 2 Billiard
Your bowl is widest at the rim. A billiard tapers ever so slightly from about 2/3 down the bowl to the rim so that the bowl is widest 2/3 down. Look at the difference in these two images.

Right, loud and clear. Thanks for taking the time.
