Truely outstanding. Very much enjoyed the videos.

One small point is the pipe will be to heavy to smoke.

I carved one in briar in a traditional shape and mine is heavy.

You have a lot of wood there, this is why the carve big shapes in Meerschaum!
Still outstanding.

eduardovieira, I'm blown away. The whole thing, the making of the pipe and the video. I'm curious, how would you measure the enjoyment and difficulty in making the stem? Is it as fun as carving the pipe? Is it a pain or once you've done it enough times it's pretty easy? It seems like there's less room for error with making a stem....

Thanks for all your comments. :worship:
2 years ago, doing the stem is frustrating, now it's easy...

I think, the secret is knowledge and practice.
I did a video "how to make a smooth tenon", here's the link:
Make a tenon
I really love doing the process.
yes, acidpox I sell pipes, and this one is for a Portuguese vip :)
Thank you all the support... :worship:

here it is the latest video: :puffpipe:

Very nice! Reminds me of Smaug in Lord of the Rings / the Hobbit. I would expect this kind of design in a meerschaum, but am even more impressed to see it in briar.

Many thanks for the support. In this dragon I did not manufacture the tamper...
In the new dragon I finished, I already made a "dragon egg" tamper .
Thanks
