Dubdog...

Not happy with this one, but it feels good to have my first diamond shank behind me...they are a pain in the butt. Was trying for a bulldog, turned more into a Dublin with a hat.
Things I think could be better: 1. The shank line carries into the bowl too much. Looking at it now I wish I would have ended where the shank enters into the bowl more in line with line of of bowl (if that makes any sense. 2. I wish my angles on the shank were at 45 degrees...they are no wear close. 3. I took too much off the bowl right above the shank. 4. didn't mean to angle the bottom part of the bowl so much. Actually, meant it to be more rounded, but I am still learning my way around a lathe.
Ok...anything else you guys see?
One flaw...bummer.
