Well I finally started making a few pipes. I got power to my shop last monday, got my lathe set up wednesday, and been working on some pipes since thursday. I started a Cherrywood/Poker, a Billiard, a Cutty and a Blowfish. The Blowfish wound up with a fissure through the side into the bowl, so its scrapped. So now I have three rough shaped pipes I'm trying to finish by this weekend.
Nothing is For Sale for a little while until I'm convinced the quality is at the level I demand.
There probably will be some free pipes given away in the next month or two, so I can get some feedback on my work before I offer them for sale.
So, they dont look like much now, still need lots of filing and sanding, but I was too pumped to keep it to myself !
Greek Briar and Handcut Ebonite/Cumberland stems.
I'll update with more pictures when they are finished.
