My first pipe! Please critique
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2016 9:29 am
I stuck to a fairly simple design, please critique away. I can see some issues in symmetry between the "front and back" of the bowl when viewed from the side, and I think I may need to work on defining the bowl shape in general some more. I plan on making another like this to see if I can get the symmetry worked out, and I really like the way rusticated pokers look, so I may have to try one of those as well but I want to get the fundamentals down first.
Also! It is is getting progressively darker? Is that because of the cheaper quality block it began with? Or is that just something that happens that I am not aware of? This is what it looks like after about a month of smoking every other day or so. (One previous picture is in the thread, the others are all current) I don't think I'm smoking too hot because there have been no changes in the bowl shape or size internally. I am new to both making and smoking. I had the desire to make a pipe before the desire to smoke one! I figured I had made the thing, so smoking it was next on the to do list.
