It was cooler before I whittled it away to nothing, and waaaay cooler before his bottom jaw fell off...
Technically, every aspect of it is completely wrong. Its an awful, awful pipe.
As a pipe in general, I give it a D. Everything about it is wrong, but it somehow smokes quite well.
In construction, I give it an F. The stem is so thin it could break. The walls of the bowl are so thin, I'm certain they would crumble with heavy use. The tenon from the bamboo stem to the bowl is just made out of bamboo. When you smoke it, the bamboo heats up, contracts, and the bowl falls off .
In Finish work, I give it a C. The finish is one thing that makes the pipe, but it needs to come way up in terms of quality.
Its like a really bad B movie thats awful, but somehow still works. All I really wanted to do was make something horrible to smoke at Halloween, and on that count alone it works
So, here it is in all its awfulness (even the pics are awful).... I call it "Malice Aforethought".
