Timberwolf Pipe 8-001

Post by Timberwolf »

Hi guys!

Below is pipe #1 and am looking for honest critique. Using basic tools - need to give the stem a slight bend. Not real happy with shank to stem transition.

But overall, very proud of my new arrival! What a blast! Made firewood out of 2 briar blocks before arriving at this one.

Pics are grainy (cell phone) "All Thumbs Timberwolf" dropped the Nikon and zoom lense is in the shop for repair or replace (hopefully "repair"...)

Thanks for looking.

Not a bad first complete. The only real criticism I have is that the transition from stem to shank to bowl doesn't flow as well as it could. Perhaps if more briar was removed at the shank/bowl junction it would flow better. Either that or a stem that tapers at the same rate as the shank. One or the other.
