Pipe #4 ("Bark")

Post by Oleg.Koval »

My pipe #4 "Bark".
Briard brought a lot of "surprises", so I tried a first time a rustication.

That's a nice rustication, and I like the shape overall. I'm not sold on the stem, though. The taper bulges just a little bit too much.

I am not, of course, saying I could have done it better.

Thank you for advice.

Also I had a consultations and plan to modify the stem.

I agree regarding the stem. The rim would look better leveled off instead of slanting toward the stem side. Other than that it's a respectable #4.
