Hello everyone. I have a billiard to share and hopefully get some feedback on. At the beginning of this year I agreed to make a trade with a sculpting graduate student to do a trade, a pipe for a sculpture. Unfortuantely, I forgot about this agreement, and forgot to make him his billiard until the last minute (he graduated and was preparing to go home). I made the pipe in a hurry, and sadly only have cellphone pictures of it. I hope the pictures are enough to get some feedback on. Thank you.

You are on the right track. The basic form is good. Just need to dial in the details. A little less radius in the bowl/shank transition.

Re: Billiard for a friend
Thanks Premal. I get confused a lot on that area of the pipe. When I was looking at a another friends old sasiene I saw they had put a really noticable small indented radius there. I am pretty sure I still had that pipes in my mind while doing this pipe's transition. Next one I'll do some more research on that particular area of the pipe. Probably search some high end makers (pictures online) and see if I can inspect their billiards.PremalChheda wrote:You are on the right track. The basic form is good.

Re: Billiard for a friend
The only thing I can add is that it appears that the bottom of the bowl has some slight areas where it's not perfectly symmetrical.

It does appear that way. I wish I could have done the usual photo shoot to give this pipe a better chance at being critiqued.sandahlpipe wrote:The only thing I can add is that it appears that the bottom of the bowl has some slight areas where it's not perfectly symmetrical.
Apreciate the critique and the time it took.
