Finally Finished!

She’s not perfect, but it didn’t turn out too badly I think. Only my second pipe carved. No power tools. Used the stem from an old M. M. Cobbit, and drilled it out to take a 6mm filter.

What type of pipe would this be called? A demi-churchwarden?

Whatever it may be, you certainly did a nice job. Congratulations and happy smokes!!

How about a Bassman?

Looks really nice. What is the wood? How did you cut the chamber?

I’m not that good lol. It started out as a pre-drilled rectangular briar block.

Cool thanks for clarifying. I couldn't tell from the pic that it is for sure briar but the thought of whittling a chamber out of briar by hand had me scratching my head.

It was fun. Can’t wait to start another. I usually spend my off time carving wooden toys for my kids.

Congratulations — it is very satisfying to make something with your own hands. I recently made my own fly tying table so I can relate!

Good enough for a first try and you saved a lot of steps.
