Cavalier from PITH 2013

I got some critique from the receiver of this pipe, but I wanted some more thoughts on it.







Thanks ahead of time.

Most of your lines and cuts look really straight and intentional, well done. I think I'd like to see more delineation between the bowl and the shank yet - really get them separated because the lines are otherwise very clean and austere.

The stem relates to the stummel in no particular way - doesn't flatter the rest of the shaping or work to harmonize anything. So I'd ditch the ring and keep with the lean clean look the rest of the pipe has.

I see what you mean. It would look better with a regular tapered stem.
