Pipe Number 4

[adui]

I bought the block, I drilled it I carved it. Whats wrong cant be seen from this angle. I drilled the shank about 3mm off center, thus the shank is off to one side of the bowl. Also, due to mistakes in the shank the stem fit isnt perfect.

I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't read what you said first!

Nice job!

I bet it smokes the same! Looks nice!

I've done the same thing on one of my pipes, It's still one of my best smokers.
Slow down, contemplate all your drilling angles, take your time setting up and drilling.
All become a learning experience , better pipes will come from this.

Well on the way! The stain and finish on the bowl look great.

All these pipe making threads have me eyeing predrilled blocks. As though I had time, tools, or skill to spare for pipe making. One day.
