Finished this one up yesterday. I got pretty lucky with this piece of briar so I didn't have to blast it. There are a few little things that bother me about it. As always I would like to hear your thoughts and critiques on it.
Thanks for looking

That's a good looking pipe, LAH. I don't see anything to critique.

That's a really nice pipe. Curious to find out what you don't like about it.
Also, did you bend the stem slightly or did you shape it that way?

Re: Horn
Maybe I'm seeing things, but is there a slight dip in the rim of the bowl? I'm looking at the third from last pic.
I'll admit that's getting really nitpicky. It's quite a nice-looking pipe - cheers on getting a clear briar.

Thanks guys.

I think that the back, or is it called the front, the side that the shank is on, of the bowl could be a little more curved, instead of having it curve and then kinda straighten out. I think that would help the flow a little bit more. I'm happy with the way it turned out, but whatever I'm making, whether it's a pipe, a musical instrument or whatever else, in the end I always find something that I should of done a little differently. I tend to be very nitpicky with my own work... I had bent the stem slightly.Sorringowl wrote:That's a really nice pipe. Curious to find out what you don't like about it.
