I just did My 1st hand made pipe. 100% by hand no power tools at all. It's made from apple wood,took 20 hrs. to do and 10 bandaids. Hope it smokes better than it looks.
I still can't get pics to come up.

Whoo whee! Thats a beauty buddy! I really dig that shape. I dont really know what it would be classified as, but it looks like bacci would really burn well in that thing. Great job! You'll have to let us know how it smokes!

Looks as though you followed the wood's cues as to what it wanted to become.
Whenever I get around to making my first one I can only hope it turns out so well!Posted 8 months ago # -

Nice work Ace! Looks kinda like a cross between a dublin and a cherrywood/poker..sorta.

Great looking pipe that. Wish I could do woodworking so I could have a go myself.

Thanks all, I did it all by hand, no power tools used at all just a small hand saw, rat tail file, sandpaper, 3 diff. drill bits, and a vise grip to hold the bits. Forgot some band aids too.

Now that is nice! Hope it smokes as good as it looks!

I used to build my fishing rods and can say there nothing better than using something you made with your own hands. Hope she smokes long and cool.

I gotta try this... I tried once, but failed miserably. Next time maybe I'll have better skill.

Hey, It smokes! I put in a load of baccy, lit it up and it smokes good the draw is a bit tight, I knew I'd have to drill the air way a bit bigger I started it small, can make bigger hard to make smaller but all and all a good smoke. The bowl chard up good and Jasongone I did pull out the stinger.

Today I drilled the air way a bit larger, filled up the bowl with some Maple St. 2nd smoke is very well. I'm happy.

Thanks all, It's no Uncle A but then He made 3 or 4 more than I did.

That is a cool shape. I just got two blocks of cherry. Im going to try and do my first free hand out of cherry then move up into briar. Im hoping to make a horn shape. Will post pics through the process.
I know what I need, smoke, I can't recall the last time I tasted it....Gandalf in the mines of Moria.

And here's another an unused one...He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli. 'Does that settle the score between us', said Merry.

Nathaniel, go for it. My theory is there are no mistakes making art. Just running design changes!
