My sixth pipe. . . Continuing to refine on my bowl-to-shank transitions. Is it just me, or does the camera reveal imperfections unseen by the naked eye for you too? There’s an upside down “U” on the front of the bowl shown in pictures 3,4,5 that I didn’t see until just now.

How’s it look?

Nice job! The bowl-shank transition looks good. I'm not a fan of the cherry red stain, but it's probably the color balance of the photo. The upside down "u" looks like a hair or something. I think you can thin out the pre-mold stem a bit down by the button... it looks a little thick and curved... I like to get it flat and below 0.170" for comfort, if the pre-mold airway allows it.

Nicely done. The only criticism I have is that the bit needs to be thinner. Other than that it's a very well made pipe on the outside.

Nicely done, you have a very symmetrical eye.
