Hello,
As I said in my presentation, I started making hand made pipes just a few weeks.

So I throw myself into the arena by showing you this pipe.
Thank you in advance for your comments

That's a great looking pipe! I really like the lines on it. The bend of the stem looks good.

My only suggestion is to make your button a little thicker, front to back , and just a touch taller. Right now one good buffing by your customer and your button will disappear. You do want your button to be slim and not get in the way. You also need to make it so that it will hold up to buffings and being chewed on.

Great pipe. Keep it up.

Scottie said it, really nice lines!
Go make another.

Thank you Scottie and Charl.

The button is 1.4mm thick, I think the reflections of light give the impression that the button is too slim.
Unless if 1.4mm is indeed not enough thick of course

I'm sure you can get as many answers as there are people on this forum, but for me I try to keep my button at around 2mm thick. It's still comfortable to clench and I know it will last. Half a mm doesn't sound like a lot, but it makes a huge difference in the longevity of your stems.
