Sometime back I made two CW stands. One for my Linkmans CW and one to sell. No takers on the second one so last week I decided to make a pipe for it.It's a short squat pot with some plateau on the front.Bowl is 1 1/2" tall and about the same OD.Chamber is 3/4". Overall length is 11". The bowl was cut from one of the extra pieces that came with some briar pen blanks I bought.

Both are good looking. You will have to show off some of those pens when you get them done.

I've been bored lately and have made like 10 tampers out of various wood. I would really like to see your tampers when you finish them Ejames.

From a friend in Florida. Every so often he sends me "care Packages" that consist of mostly damaged pipes he can't sell or sometimes stems I may be able to use to repair a pipe or make tampers from.
PME sells them-- but it looks like they are temporarily out of stock--

That actually plateau. I didn't do any rustication.
