Time flies when there is a lot to do.. work seems to have taken quite abit of my hobby time, but I did make some time to get into the workshop.. here are the latest two.. more pics are on my website of course.. have a great weekend everybody

this is the first pipe made with our last bamboo order... man am I a happy person... there were so many great pieces in the order... another bamboo shank will be coming in about a week.. but this little prince I kinda fell in love with while making..

I really like the proportions of the bowl on the prince - really an attractive pipe that says "tobacco goes here, I'll do the rest". A charmingly open-faced girl.

All the pics of the bulldog show the same side. That looks fine.

Thanks Sas.... and as for the Bulldog.. they might be from the same side but the other side looks just the same .. honestly I didn't even notice it..

James, I am no pro and I'm hoping that they will correct me if I'm wrong. But after looking at the composition on the bamboo pipe again, I would say that the "rhythm" would flow better if the distance from bowl to 1st knuckle, and then from last knuckle to stemflare, were sligtly less.
Pro's??
