There is plenty I'm happy with on this one, I like the bowl, the proportions, the blast, and on a short stem I prefer a saddle over a tapered stem. This short and unless you get thin real fast with a taper you got spread lips which isn't comfy, so I like this style saddle. I also like nearing vertical lines on saddles, I dislike the slow slopes. Nonetheless this stem was a bugger to make as it was too short for my strip sander, obviously it can be improved, but I like it for now.
There is plenty I dislike as well but as I haven't sold this yet I am not going to call them out here
Well for one, my lines are not as tight as I like and the bottom line is exacerbated because of the stamp placement. Left over from rusticating I leave my smooth stamp spot connected to the smooth ring before the stem\shank junction. I think the lines would look cleaner if I moved it farther down the shank.Insane rain lately but we had a sun break earlier today so I ran outside and took these pics. My pic alignment is not all that great but it doesn't make the pipe look too distorted imo.
Well that's what I think, let me know what you think.

Wow it's late for me, I hope I made sense
