Good afternoon,

This is the first pipe totally drilled and turned on my new lathe. It is also my first attempt at rustication.











I would like to hear from you guys what you think i should improve or do differently.

Thank you!

Regards,

Bruno

Pretty dagum decent for sure! I'd say the stem has too much material before the saddle- which is partially an issue of pre-fab stems. As is, I dig it. Just a minor suggestion really.

Nicely done. The only suggestion for improvement that I see is that the shank could be a bit longer so the saddle isn't so close in length to the shank. Either that or shorten the length of the saddle about an 1/8".

Nice job. Congratulations on the lathe.

Thank you for your words guys!

Normally not a fan of the Poker shape, but this one looks, well.... good!
I will agree with my brother on the stem issue.
Do you have any better pictures of the rustication? I like the look of it.
Well done
