nice work man
Fresh tubes arrived today, some new colors! Pink, grey and lake green, just one each to sample at dispensary and see what they like before large purchase.
Been a busy week so just gonna chill tonite. Pulling points tomorrow and bend a few this weekend.
Your bends are lookin pretty clean. Keep it up man.
Chinese Pink and Lake Green, both are really pretty colors imo and worked nicely.
The pink lock is not great, i put large clear frit inside just to see what would happen...not what i was hoping for. White frit in the pink spoon looks great, really brings out the pink color, I need bigger frit than this fine tho.
Lake green is nice, the dots on the lock threw a bit of silver fume on it and it looks cool up close. I don't personally care for the blue spoon shape but the shape itself i am pleased with; straight, even, round.
Learnin, learnin, learnin...
i find the lake green to be shocky - compared to the cobalt. but i have only burned through one or two tubes of it.
great work boss.
May I live like the lotus, at ease in muddy water

Thanks! My pictures do not include the ones that came out funky/twisted/bent sideways/short stems etc. I tested all the forms that have come out of the kiln and about 45* between bowl and mouthpiece seems to be the sweet spot as far as comfort in MY hand. Too flat and you can't see what you're doing, too steep and you burn eyebrows. I have only worked with 25x4 so far, bigger tube will be interesting when I get to it. Gandalfs are also on the TO DO list...
Some of the cleanest one-piece sherlocks I've seen that actually include work/a pattern come from JD Maplesden. Check the split sherlock on the side of the Deppe/Grey/Darby skull: http://i.imgur.com/VerIJTV.jpg
That twist!
That skull is beyond bitchin, the lock is definitely super fine work. Give me a few years and several hundred pieces to practice...
JD was just at borosyndicate yesterday.
(I am currently in n.y, , my lady is already in salt lake.)
Figures this post would come up.
Those bends are lookin clean man. Keep it up!
Sherlocks are looking good Cerberus
My concentrator doesn't work well in the cold so these took longer than they should have.
I do what I know, I don't know what I'm doing
soon you are going to have to post the how to video
Fer sure
I do what I know, I don't know what I'm doing
great suggestion on drooping the stem and maintaining an "L" thanks for that
btw.. i fully agree on the mouth feel of the pointy mouth piece. i always pull mine out a bit. they dont always look the most consistent tho. which is the best reason i can find for the more rounded type.
but i only make spoons special order at this point so i have no market experience to share.
