I decided to throw my spin on the Bulldog design. Thoughts?

:) Thank you!

Pipe was from scratch but I used a vulcanite blank for the stem.

Scratch meaning a simple block of briar or scratch meaning a pre-drilled block of briar (hobbiest, try it on the weekend style)? Either way, pretty cool.

Thank you very much! I agree, something like this isn't for everyone, but I sure do enjoy making them.

Looks like something I would buy. Love it! I see bulldog roots, but maybe with that carving, it could be a Boodle with a French trim?

Apart from my vacuum cleaner tube, it recalls me something of Mad Max!

Out of jokes, it's a really nice work. I like the proportions, the stem workmanship and the top of the bowl that is a real genious shot.I feel it looks like a rusty and oily piece fallen from an old machinery in an older factory. Great!

Yes, I see bulldog genetics there. I would imagine with that amount of surface area to dissipate the heat it should be a very cool smoke. Well done, sir.
