Pipe #12 Finally something acceptable!

[RDPipes]

Well, here's my 12th pipe and I think from a shaping aspect it's just about right although the slot in the button is just a bit cockeyed it'll pass and I'll probably be the only one that notices it. This one is made from Algerian briar and as you can see the pit family moved in on the other side of the property (peckerwoods). Nothing I could really do besides blast it (and I haven't one) or rusticate it and I just didn't want to screw it up further cause I couldn't do just a partial cause of the location the pits are in. Anyway as you can see it's partially bent chubby Rhody with Rosewood shank extension and hand cut Lucite stem. It measures 5 inches long, 2 inches high, 1 3/4 inch wide with a 7/8 inch chamber about 1-1/4 deep. And Yes, I know the last photo is blurred, wasn't on purpose but, I just didn't want to bother retaking it. I will if someone insists.
If anyone can see something wrong with it please let me know.

Beautiful Ron. The lines flow perfectly. Love the rosewood accent.

The pits don't make this any less attractive. Looks like a winner to me.

You are doing fine work, Ron.
Don't worry about the pits....they are natural and part of the pipe. Not a detraction.

Yet another beauty Ron    
There is one major problem with it, one that you keep repeating - it's not mine

Given a pit-free piece of briar your next might even meet your insane standards

 

[RDPipes]

Thank you Adam
I'm not insane..............I'm just a little psychotic.

That's beautiful! Well done! You are one of a few people that I would love to just follow around a wood shop and watch and learn... But I'm not stalkerish or anything

Beautiful Ron, just a pity about the pits in it, love that woderfull grain you've showed that up perfectly.

 

[RDPipes]

Ron, you've got a great eye for pipes, this is another beauty you've turned out. Those pits add character though getting it blasted might look grand too.

Good going there mate.
