It was never intended to be a perfect flush fit like a typical factory pipe. Much like most every other hand made freehand out there. That is the point.

Thanks all!
Chasing Embers, that's a great freehand. You're exactly right, this one also feels like it was carved specifically for the hand.
Mso, I agree about the weight of the Nordings. These two are probably the lightest pipes I own, even though they are larger than most of the others. They're great clenchers, and I'm continually surprised by that.
Pipesticks, I like that churchwarden! That's a shape I've always admired but never tried out. One of these days. A fine example you have there...
