Hello everyone, I just wanted to share a recent poker that I made. This is not completely finished yet, as I am waiting for my black delrin to come in so that I can use it for my tenon. This is also the very first stem that I have ever carved and it is made from lucite. Let me know what you all think! Happy smoking.

Sharing a recent poker I made

From what I can see, this looks excellent. Well done!
The grain is perfectly matched to the overall shape and the two plauteaus are quite appealing. I can see what you mean about wanting to use a black Delrin tenon, but I think you did a fine job! Do a search on "Larrysson Tree Stump pipes" and you'll find something similar.
A small point... as the stem angles up (not parallel to the ground) this is actually a "Cherry Wood" shape (even though it's made from briar) rather than a "Poker".

BB, your doing very well for such a short time in your new hobby. And also making your own stems already..... Very nice.
I use delrin in all my stems, even the premade blanks, it works well and is great if you don't have a lathe for turning your own tenons.
Keep up the good work.

Smokindawg, Yes I just started making my own stems for the last few pipes I have made. I still have some things to get down, especially button work, but all in due time I suppose. And yes, I love delrin for tennons, it has made a huge difference for my pipes. I really need a lathe, but the delrin helps tons.
