Meerschaum Cutty
Thanks CB. Yes, the ferrule fits the tenon tightly enough but I'd feel terrible if I sold it and it broke.- shikano53

Meerschaum Cutty
This pipe is not for sale. Since I forgot to place a bushing in the mortise and it might be a potential fail point, I'll keep it and use it as a test pipe.- shikano53

Meerschaum Cutty
I forgot to mention that because I was so focused on shaping, I totally forgot to put a bushing in the mortise so the meer wouldn't wear. I did coat it with Super Glue that hardens like concrete once it cures. My bad.- shikano53

Meerschaum Cutty
I was fortunate to find 4 blocks of Meerschaum at a reasonable price. I've never worked with Meerschaum before but this was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of facts and lessons about working with Meerschaum along the way. First, a little bit of history about these particular blocks that I was...- shikano53

LDD, I changed the original pipe because of feedback I received from folks on the Pipe Makers Forum loose the plateaux, make it sleeker, cut down the size, and re-bend the stem. I thought it over and decided in this case that their comments and advice was sound. As far as pipe dynamics...- shikano53

Resurrected Straight Dublin
FWIW, if you're not a member of the Pipe Makers Forum, think about joining the forum and posting your pipes in the gallery section and request a critique. Don't be offended by what might come across or perceived as being vindictive or mean. Their combined weight of experience will help you...- shikano53
