Freehand Ugly Virgin Chubby Worm

[didimauw]

The last pre drilled kit I had laying around. I told myself that I want going to mess around with carving pipes anymore, but I already bought this kit so I wasn't going to let it go to waste.

Pretty cool, yeh, it does have a very larval look to it. But, you did it yourself. It will definitely start conversations.

 

[dcon]

Nice didimauw ! I like the spirals.

 

[cigrmaster]

didi, don't quit your day job just yet.

 

[npod]

Uhm ... hhmmm ... well ... 8O

 

[davet]

:rofl:

 

[didimauw]

Haha cigrmaster, I don't plan on it. Tis just for fun, and this is the last one. I promise.
But man, I was really planning on making it big with my ugly chubby larvae pipes ... :roll:

 

[jpmcwjr]

Interesting.

 

[piperusak]

<p>magic always comes at the time of polishing the pipe.

 

[scloyd]

I wouldn't say it's ugly, it's original and one of a kind. Stamp it "1 of 1". I'd smoke it!

 

[didimauw]

So the shape of this monstrosity was bothering me, so last night I took my rotary tool to it.

And I thought I was going to be done ruining pipes after this one first came around. But after last night, I'll be buying more blocks to play around with. Haha

Don beat me to it.
In Attenborough's voice:

Remarkable! Here the former Ugly Virgin Chubby Worm has eclosed revealing a beautiful pipe!

 

[didimauw]

Thanks guys. I just need to have more patience with sanding it. But I don't mind the marks. Almost looks like I did it on purpose!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Ah, so you started with this: (which started with a pre-drilled block)

Much better! Any thought of removing the "chin"? Anyway, she smoke good?

 

[mso489]

One transformation, and then another. I liked the worm pipe, though I'm not sure I'd have smoked it. The second version is a lot more likable. I think you'll grab that off the rack when it comes around on the rotation. Nice bit of grain and a pleasant stained finish. Thank you for the good photos of your adventure.

 

[didimauw]

I have thought of removing the chin, but I think it gives it kind of a pickaxe-esque shape.

The thread title scared me more than the pipe. Nice rework, Trainboy! :lol:

 

[alaskanpiper]

First, truly organic.....the didimaggot......then.....well, more rustic....I'd smoke it......Definitely like the aesthetics of the de-maggotized version better. Looks like an old hand carved peasant pipe or something, other than the elaborate stem.

 

[didimauw]

Oh and still haven't smoked it yet. It'll have to wait till October 2nd of 2020...
