asymmetrical tulip

[sam a]

just finished up another pipe... my first stem inlay, and it turned out okay but has a bit of a gap (and a hairline crack going right up the middle). perhaps i'll wait till i get a lathe before i attempt another inlay. anyhow, critique away.

That is really a nice shape i also like finish on the pipe good work sam.

Crisp lines, nice balance, nice shape, good finish.
You sure you made this pipe ?

Nice. Is it intentionally asymmetrical on the horizontal axis when viewed from above?

Note: just re-read the title of this thread. Even so, I'll leave the stupid question above for everyone to read.

Great work, Sam. Really excellent.

Sweet shape Sam!

I like it, but is it more of an egg?

The finish looks very nice.

[sam a]

is it more of an egg?

quite possibly, my understanding of proper naming of shapes is nebulous at best.

Boy, what a great looking pipe. Too bad the tobacco chamber looks soooooo crappy.

[JMG]

Great looking pipe, Sam. Personally, I think the inlay would look better if it about half as thick, but that is simply my personal preference. Either way, this is a really great looking pipe.

Now that's a pipe! I love it! Elegant shaping, well defined lines, and a very nice overall composition.

Have any plans to sell this one? I probably couldn't afford it, but it never hurts to ask.

Good for you! No need to rush it.

Well done! Very nice job indeed.

There was only one thing that jumped out - i didn't have to stare at it for this to pop out at me

First thing I saw was : great shape - great lines ...
second thing I saw : WOW that is really a w-i-d-e rim for such a delicate looking shape.

Thanks for this. I tend towards over-eagerness and I'm really glad to see that you've got your head screwed on straight, Sam.

I, for one, am taking notes.
