Re: Bullmoose
Looks great! I would not have rusticated it, but I'm a sucker for grain.

No, I wouldn't have rusticated. Yes, that's a purdy dang nice pipe you made. Good job.

Re: Bullmoose
you asked.. so yes I would have rusticated it simply due to the flaws.. although minor... thier big enough to take away from the grain in my opinion. I have one right now I'm working that has wonderful grain but too many little blemishes...so it will be rusticated.. grain aside

You might want to think about putting a small chamfer on the edge of the chamber. That fine edge will tend to singe easily.
