Made my first Churchwarden

[ejames]

Sometime back I made two CW stands. One for my Linkmans CW and one to sell. No takers on the second one so last week I decided to make a pipe for it.It's a short squat pot with some plateau on the front.Bowl is 1 1/2" tall and about the same OD.Chamber is 3/4". Overall length is 11". The bowl was cut from one of the extra pieces that came with some briar pen blanks I bought.

Both are good looking. You will have to show off some of those pens when you get them done.

 

[cigrmaster]

Very well done, you should be very proud.

 

[ejames]

Thanks Gents! Grizzly,the pen blanks are for tampers,not pens.

[ejames]

Thanks cajun. I wish I had discovered pipe making 40 years ago.

I've been bored lately and have made like 10 tampers out of various wood. I would really like to see your tampers when you finish them Ejames.

From a friend in Florida. Every so often he sends me "care Packages" that consist of mostly damaged pipes he can't sell or sometimes stems I may be able to use to repair a pipe or make tampers from.
PME sells them-- but it looks like they are temporarily out of stock--

That actually plateau. I didn't do any rustication.
