6 7 8 9 and 10

I've been working 6 days a week lately, so havent felt like taking any photos of completed pipes. Here are the photos of 6 7 8 9 and 10, in order of completion, just to show I have been doing something with my time. Theres only one pic of each, and then a picture of all 5 together. I dont want to bore everyone with 35 pics. All of the pipes have a flaw in either stem, stummel, or both. so here they are.
This is an old straight dublin. maybe my third hand cut stem. It had a huge crack in the bottom, and the stem is awful looking too.
this was supposed to be a very tiny, long shanked billiard. weird swoop in the shank, terrible stemwork.
similar to the last one, lovat or billiard shape. much bigger pipe. much better stem
\
I tried to duplicate a dunhill bulldog with this one. there is a flaw in the shank that wraps almost all the way around. i also punched throught the bakelite stem on the bottom.
this one started out as a poker, but had a massive crack in the bottom. i rounded the heel and gave it a bent stem, just to save the block. i drilled the chamber at 1" leaving extremly thin walls. maybe 3/16 thick.
