Billiard Off The Bench Today with Hand Turned Acrylic Stem - Pic Heavy

[shikano53]

Hi Folks, I've been away a bit but just thought I would share a few pics of this billiard off the bench today. I should have taken just a tad more off the stem and pushed the bowl shank back a bit but overall I'm happy.

Great looking pipe! I like the mix of rustication and smooth wood -- very tastefully done. :clap:

 

[shikano53]

Thanks for the comments folks. Appreciated.

Very Nice!

I love the rustication on it, How was that done?

 

[danielplainview]

Very cool. I like the rustication pattern you chose. Well done sir.

Very nice!!!

That chamber looks HUGE in the top down photo.
I like the strategic placement of smooth and rustication. Smooth in the front, for aerodynamics when racing across the pipe shop to get that last tin of Esoterica, but rusticated in the back, so that the user still finds an interesting view during the sprint.
Two thumbs up! ::

Thanks again folks.

jeffro, here is a pic of the Dremel bits I use.

The small one is a Dremel #106 1/16" high speed cutter

The second smallest is a Dremel #107 1/8" high speed cutter
Here is a great video by Walt Cannoy showing how to make a nail rustication tool and rusticate a pipe.

Chris, you know I love your work... I can't understand the proportions on this one. It doesn't feel right to me. Sorry.

 

[jeffro]

Thank-you for the info on the rustication tools!

Again, thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated. Currently I have a volcano almost complete on the bench.

Will post pics when finished.
