I suppose I should post something since it's been like... forever. This is my first Billiard. Finished it last week and brought it to Columbus, where I got some really good feedback on it from a good group of guys, but I just wanted to share here and see what you all thought. Enjoy!

Re: 1st Billiard
There are a few tweaks here and there, but that pipe is so good overall I think you earned a pass.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

I think it's a good overall shape. The rim looks a bit on the thin side. I doubt it would be a problem for smoking, it's just aesthetics. The bevel makes the ridge around the outside look a bit sharp as well. I'd be concerned that the rim could chip.
Other than that, I think it's a really nice billiard. Good work!

Much encouragement; conditions have to be a good craftsman pipe.
Best regards.

Re: 1st Billiard
Overall very nice. Things to work on: 1) button and bit could use some thinning and refinement, 2) bowl walls are a touch too thin, 3) bowl is a hair too tall. Wall thickness being the only thing that, IMHO, prohibit this pipe from being sold. This one will likely come back to haunt you at some point if you sold it. Otherwise it's very nicely done; especially for a first billiard.
