I can relate to that @PappyJoe I set out to buy one... ONE of @Corey562 pipes and so far I've wound up with THREE! The crazy part is I'm not finished yet! What else can you say about a well made, beautifully artistic pipe except, "l need to buy that / those pipe(s)"...
@Corey562 l like the uniqueness of that pipe. What I'm going to try to hold out for is a full bent, bowl slightly canted toward the stem, with a matching acrylic shank extension and stem... Knowing you, you probably already have a few like that in stock. Anyway, that's my excuse for not spending more money that I don't have at the moment...
A square shank isn't something I see from you. Just enough bend in the shank to make it interesting. Looks as if things are warming up there. I see you are now in shorts and tennis shoes instead of you usual jeans and boots...
That really turned out nice @Corey562 Just enough of a bend to make it elegant-looking. The color of the stem doesn't show itself as well as it probably is. Get it in the light just right, and I bet that green stem looks beautiful. Not knowing the exact size of the pipe, it looks as though it could serve as a perfect "pocket pipe". I love pocket pipes because they are so handy. I bet I own about 20 / 25 of the slightly smaller than normal sized pipes. As usual, another great job.
@motie2 thank you sir I love the look myself I have put off making this one for a while for the simple fact that freehanding a sphere is not the easest thing to do.

But DAMN that's nice!!!!!
But you've done it with aplomb. (And that's the exact right word for your craftsmanship here.)
