Just Off The Bench- Squat Bulldog With Walrus

I radius the sharp edge of the draft hole as it comes into the bowl..
Why? Aesthetics, or some technical reason?

Without a radius, there’s a sharp edge where the draft enters the bowl. I’ve seen a few comments from people with a variety of pipes having slight cracking at that junction...don’t know if it matters much, but if the bowl is shallow enough to reach it, I trim it.

Nice touch. Adds a bit of refinement anyway. I checked some of my better brands and they don't show any signs of that kind of work. Maybe you'll start something!
