Think I like the smooth better, still one of the best shapes I've ever seen. Great work

Great shape. I like how the bottom has a transition from textured to smooth. Ties it all in.
Where are the feet?? Just kidding.
For my tastes I'd like to see a little more bend in the stem but it works well just like it is.
Very well done.

Beautiful work Zack! Man it looks like you've been producing sandblast for a long time. Congrats I'd say your new to you blasting equipment has taken your pipe craft to the next level. Love that stem on that one.
