Had some fun modifying a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe. Made it my own and I like how it smokes plus looks now.

I absolutely love cob mods! That one looks great.
That Danish stem is the way to go for me; I put them on all my cobs. I find the standard stem has too narrow of a bit, and the MM vulcanite stem, while wide and comfortable, just doesn't have the wide open "corn cob" draw I like.

The wood ring is made from Juniper. I also put pipe mud in the bottom of the bowl to help fix the placement of the draw hole.

That is an awesome pipe!

I like how it is partially rusticated (?) and smooth wood on top.

@jaq6q, the bottom started as a naked MM corn cob pipe that I cut about the same amount off as the top wood ring. I then stained it with green first and red after that. Glued the top ring on and cut the rim slots with a file and a ring around the shank. The final finish is boiled linseed oil on the outside to seal the stain on there.

A good MM cob is a joy (nearly) forever. So why not make it your own?
