Here's my entry, it was a new shape for me and a learning experience, brown & black contrast stain, Bocote stem embellishment and a modified Brindle acrylic saddle bit. I am pretty pleased with it...

Now that is a beautifully executed pipe 'astrange1' and you have managed to take my breath away. I love its style and total functionality.
Here is my start. First thing was to get a draw the approximate shape and depth of the bowl and a rough shape.
Next time to fire up the band saw and rough out the shape.
Next up will be a visit to the belt sander....

Beautiful pipe astrange and well executed!
However, and I certainly in no way shape or form wish to distract form the beautiful pipe you made, but once again I'm somewhat confused (seems to come quite easily with me). :wink:
Anyway... I was under the impression that this whole thing, 'project' as it were, was about those that wish to undertake making their first pipe from a 'kit'. Obviously there are many on this forum that have been making pipes for a long time as a hobby, and some who even make pipes professionally. With that said, and my ensuing confusion, is this 'Post them here' thread associated with, and or about the 'Forum Project- Let's Carve a Pipe Kit!' thread, or something not related to it and has nothing whatsoever to do with the 'Forum Project'?
Once again, sorry for my confusion, but there are so many damn threads about this thing/project and the 'contest', whatever that is, or was.

When I last posted my poor chuck of briar had been sliced up by a Grizzly. It was now time to head off to the belt sander.
Now to the bench, I did most of the the rough shaping with a smooth cut rasp, files, chisels and even my pocket knife.
After a lot of wood removal I'm at the rough shape. I still need refine the shape better, but its looking like the idea I had in my head.

Here is my pipe so far. It's definitely a little rough around the edges, but it's coming along. What do you guys think?
