The other thread had some issues that made it impossible for me to see the posts properly. Let's try this again.
I am slowly realizing that my past hobbies can be incorporated into the current one... pipes.
Some years ago I took up wood carving. Another of my forays into new territory. I am no expert, but it is fun to carve bits of wood into rustic and yet useful items.
I modified one of my grandpa's pocket knives into a specialized carving knife. All of the blades are razor sharp, and the one shown in this pic is flat on the back side, tapered on the front, for a right handed carver... ME.
I am going to try carving some wood sprite tampers. I found this example of someone's work on the net, thanks to the unknown owner of the pic for the inspiration.
And then I found this tiny, blurry pic.
And decided, why not? Should be a fun exercise. This is the start...
