    Just Finished

    Thanks Shutterbugg. Sallow, the inside bowl is 3/4" and the wall thickness is roughly 1/8" at the thinest point. The bowl depth is close to 7/8", and the height is 1 5/8", and overall length is 5 1/2".

    Tongue Burn on nosewarmer

    Must be a problem with the pipe. Just pack it up and send it to me. :rofl: But the advice of packing should help.

    Stem polishing; oxidation

    JP I'm not sure where you are from, but if you have access to a Hobby Lobby you can pick up the micromesh 2x2 pads. As far as bleach and oxyclean I've only used oxy clean, but willing to try the bleach on my next batch of the restores. I usually let them soak then do all the magic eraser at the...

    Next Project

    The far right one I already have a idea for it, adouble bowl pipe. The darker one I'm aiming for a Dublin with a long shank and silver windcap. The left and middle I'm still contemplating.

    Clickklick it's a band I ordered from PME. I may order some more cause I really like the looks of it, if they still have any. Thanks MSO, I was aiming for something different with the slight panels, and the curves.

    A few new handmades

    Really like that second poker, and love the color on the first pipe. Interesting how you stopped the stain to give a virgin band look.

    The lighter pipe as most of my other pipes was drilled with a modified wood spade bit the I ground to a taper with a Dremel tool. The black one I had bought a J Alan spoon bit. I even tried the way he does it in his videos, rough shaped it then glued some wood bits on then drilled it. It went...

    Here are the next four pieces of briar I plan on shaping. The one in the middle is going to be really interesting with the outside shape it has.

    Done up the black one with the band today. I wanted to see if I could crank out a pipe in one day. I'm happy with the results for a quick turn around pipe. The diamond shank one I did last week. Wasn't quite sure how I wanted to stain it it so I went for a light stain.

    Stain Question

    I may do another stain job like it now that it had good feed back. I assumed that the stain was ugly to me and was set one believing it was ugly. Now that I set back and look at it I can kinda see what others like in it. It's unique with the way I dyed it with the different types of grain. The...

    Stain Question

    It was driving me nuts as soon as I got home before even getting back on here I headed into the garage. Did some sanding and restaining on it, I wanted to try the black stain then a dark stain over it. So I went for it, I know the grain is a odd layout. So here is the fruits of my labor.

    Stain Question

    Decided to try my hand at a freehand pipe. I got everything shaped the way I wanted it then time to stain. Every stain I've done so far came out the way I wanted it. This one not so much, I started off with black Fiebings leather alcohol dye. Then sanded to apply the next dye. The black didn't...

    How or Why Did You Start Smoking a Pipe?

    Thanks for sharing that with us Pagan, I understand your feelings and will fill a bowl too in your friends memory. A friend introduced me to pipes back in 01 I think it was, and I purchased my first pipe shortly afterwards. Since then I have tried to learn as much as I can and stared crafting...

    Check Out This Pipe Repair: Loose Stem

    The beeswax worked for me but seemed to not hold up that long but that was a fairly loose tenon. I've used a metal pick and a tea candle to expand the tenon back out to a proper fit and has held up well. Teflon tape can work but makes a nasty mess for clean up down the road. I've restored a...
