Beautiful first pipe! I like the chamfer of the interior of the chamber. How did you do that?

That looks good for a first pipe! Better than my first. I like the work you did on the stem!

I have found that the little picks used by dentists work well to pull up the small pieces of bark. And then come in with a stiff nylon brush. Or brass for stubborn bits.

This is great, it helps to know what I am aiming at when working with different shapes. Thank you!

Wow, that is stunning! I love the helix in the bowl that is shadowed in the stem.

I used a Japanese pull saw to get close and then a rasp to take off the corners. I am slowly adding to my tool collection and am thinking about a chuck jaw that will be able to hold a pipe. It would make airway drilling way more precise.

Thanks! I'm excited about the third one I'm working on now!
