I'd like to say something good about this pipe. But I find it difficult to figure out what could that be.
- I don't like its final shape. My routine when I choose a shape for the next pipe is simple. I find a pipe which I like and adapt it to the level of my skills.
- Contrast staining is still the issue which I need to improve. I tried few ways and final result is rather poor.
- Buffing. It's as plain as the nose on your face.
- Edge of the rim isn't as sharp as it should be.
- Last but not least. Flaws. When flaw appears when pipe is fully shaped, I'm only one step from smashing the pipe with a hammer.
I think that would be all at the moment. I would be grateful If you could point out some other mistakes.
PS. This time I used one of pre-molded stems. Don't know why. Won't do it again.
Regards,
Jakub
