New pipe #5

[Crafty]

Still learning a lot. Staining is and getting grain looks right is still giving me fits at times. It doesn't help when I have to take a couple months between projects because of work travel, slows the learning curve! :face:  Thanks for looking.











The 1 photo make it look front heavy but it's just the view from which the picture was taken.

In your first photo it looked like it needed a lot more sanding, (maybe you did that before staining). But the next photos look great sir, I love the shape, the stain looks good, it's got good even gloss on it. I think you have a winner there. I think the stems a bit too bent but, that's just me.
How much you asking for?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, the first pic was after roughing it out on the sander/dremmel. A couple hours of sanding then staining/buffing/polishing etc... to get to the finished product. As for price???? This has just been a self-sustaining hobby as friends bought the pipes and I would use the $$ my next pipe. I wouldn't know what to ask, still new to pipes. LOL, the stem is the easiest to adjust from what I've found.
