Edit: Not enough posts to show pictures in this section.
















The stem was with pre made tennon and the holes were made. I just shaped it.

The brass band is a repair, the shank cracked in the wise as i seem to never learn..

Its made for a 9mm filter, got it as thin as i could.

Been smoking it for about a week now and the draw and all works great, feels good to smoke.
But it gets realy hot real fast..

Guess i made the chamber to big, as the briar pice i used was about as wide as the pipe is now.
Any opinions on how thick the walls should be ? Is there any ''rules'' on a minimum?

I like the thickest walls. Even 3/16" seems a little too thin for me. Pipes that get too hot to hold annoy me. I am, however, impressed with the pipe you made. Thanks for all the pix.
I would think that a flake or cube cut would smoke cooler than ribbons and shag. Was it the SG/ Navy flake that heated up the bowl so much?

That's a pretty damn impressive billiard to be carved completely by hand. Well done, my friend.

Doesn't look have bad. If it is a billiard you might have missed the few degrees of cant the bowl needs. Can't really tell from the pictures.
