After failing 4 times to make a Lovat and then cracking the shank on another requested pipe, I decided I needed to make something fun for myself before attempting them again. This one I called The Zerg as an ode to the game Staarcraft. The chin is too abrupt and if I would have drilled the bowl differetly I might have been able to have one smooth transition from bottom tip to top tip. It looks a bit chunky in the pics but doesn't look nearly as fat in the hand. The tip in the stem rounded a bit as I expected it would. I have an issue with my cork bleeding previous colors around the chamber rim when staining. I have to come up with different technique. It may be hard to critique but I categorize it as more of a fantasy pipe.
All in all, it is a pipe for myself and I am very happy with it. I can't wait to smoke it!

Re: Pipe #13, The Zerg
Just sand the chamber when you are done, the cork will nearly always cause that bleeding.

Actually it bleeds at the top of the rim.

UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

I expect to see a Terran and Protoss themed pipe from you in the near future.

I might consider it. Zerg was my favorite... and a protoss pylon might make a nice shape. But terran . . . that would be difficult.

That'll take one honkin block of wood! Way less than a battle cruiser though! A pylon seems wussy now. A dragoon might be fun.
