prince #4

[Doug535]

Ok, here's my 4th go at this shape. Initial shaping to this point, should I tighten up the transition or leave it as is? I will do a slight bend before finishing the stem. Any and all critique is very much appreciated.
Bowl height - 1.370
Bowl width - 1.460
Chamber - .700
Chamber depth - 1.130
Length - 6.50

Caveat being that I don't know the prince and haven't carved any, but that's looking pretty sharp to me. Slight bit of wobble/off angle at the top of the shank, but that might be you preparing for the bend in the stem. Likewise on the bottom view it looks like there's a bulge in the shank just after the transition. All stuff you'll clean up when doing final shaping I'm sure.

Also the passenger side of the bowl might hang just slightly lower than the driver side.

Much better than the last! As Rick said, some wobble at the shank/stem joint. in that last solo pic something looks just barely off. Not quite a mirror image, but real close. Side profiles look nice

Thanks Rick. Just realized I dropped this in the wrong section, should be in Stummels. Could a mod please move this to Stummels.
