I had been looking at Sixtens pipes on Pipendoge and liked the flow of his pipes, the Cutty/Horn in particular caught my eye and this is the resulting pipe. Once the pipe was finished I found one almost identical here:

Man that is cool. The only thing that stops my eye is the bottom of the shank/stem junction. It may just be the picture but it looks flattened out just ever so slightly. That is such a great interpretation of that shape.
I always feel guilty about putting the "extention on the tenon of the stem and not the shank itself. Not after this though.

Re: Ivarsson Inspired Cutty
Nice flow and a nice pipe. I'm going to suggest a minor change to take it from being slightly hornish to cutty proper, and that's just a hair more definition on the back/bottom of the bowl, just give it a little more of the shape you see on the front side -
It would mean refining the shank just a bit too. But I think that moves the pipe all the way in the direction it's headed.

NIce. I really like the curve you put on the rim. Great looking pipe, man.

Wow, David,
This is a beautiful pipe! Once again, you've made a pipe that makes me think twice about a shape I'm not initially drawn to. Honestly, though (and I'm hoping this comes across as a complement, because that's how it's intended), still, I don't know that it's the shape that draws me to this pipe. I think that's it's just a really nicely executed pipe, with nice lines and great balance. Speaking of which, to me, it doesn't look like this is a sitter but it looks like it' balanced enough to just "sit" on its own.
I really like the extension as well. Did you turn the tenon before adding the extension? Or, did you add the extension to your unfinished rod and then add a delrin tenon? Curious as to how you did this (and how adding an extension to a stem is done, in general).

Re: Ivarsson Inspired Cutty
Thank you all for your comments they really are appreciated.
Band, the shank is oval which may be causing the flattening you are seeing.
Walle, I wish! I know the name and everything means a lot but the original is worth $3-5,000 I might be lucky and get $100 for this.
SAS, Looking at the pipe in the flesh I don't see it but in the pics I do, maybe. I had originaly intended to undercut the chamber at the back creating a Cobra type thing but decided I liked the shape as it was.
Sorringowl, use an extra long tennon, face the end of the stem and one side of the extension and glue all three of them together, the other face can be turned square when the glue is set. Or you can try this:
The derlin is roughed with a rasp which makes lots of grooves, the drill bit keeps the airway aligned. The cuts are done on a bandsaw but you should be able to do it with a mitre saw, putting a slight flat on the rod helps a lot.
The pipe is not really a sitter but it rocks nicely, I had a team of top scientists work out the perfect cross axis curve to make it do this.
Sorry but I just had to.

Re: Ivarsson Inspired Cutty
Great looking pipe. I especially like ...everything about it. Shape, color, ring, stem, finish, name it. Just Great. I like the curve in the top of the bowl and the soft, I call it, rounded, not sharp edges at the rim of the bowl and chamber. Just Great. A hundred bucks? ...all day long.
