Made Pipe #29, Morta Eskimo Soup

[clickklick]

First time using Bog Oak. Had to leave it smooth as I don't have a blaster. Would have preferred a deep blast on this one.

That's cool ! Nothing wrong with a smooth Morta !

Nice work. I love the Morta look.

Way to go Adam! What made you decide on a white stem? How long is it?

I'm actually really liking the smooth look. That, as well as the whole ensemble of materials makes it look a little like something I could see in a "Native Peoples" exhibit in a museum next to carved utensils and tools. The Eskimo/Inuit name fits the vibe of the piece well, I think.

Very nice looking pipe there. Recently been interested in smaller sized pipes, so this really caught

caught my eye.

Very well done. I like the smooth look especially in that shape. The whole thing came together well. Nice work.

It looks to me like it has a subtle texture, not blast but delicate lines, which I think look good.

What a nice shape!

Nice! It definitely has a native feel to it, for lack of a better word.

Thanks everyone!
James - It measures 5 1/4" long. I had originally cut a green cumberland stem for it but my wife actually chimed in and said that white , with the white ash stem insert, would really make the bog oak "pop". I have to say that I definitely agree with her!

 

[scrooge]

Yeah I have to agree also, kinda gives it a bone look for a Eskimo pipe. Nice call MRS Clickklick! An a nice job Adam.

 

[papipeguy]

Very nice. The simplicity of design is what strikes me.

 

[jkrug]

Very cool Adam. I love the Eskimo shape and you don't see it too often. Well done. ::

Speaking of Morta or Bog wood: Check this out!

I've never seen morta that light in color. Do you have more info on it? I would love to acquire some!

 

[newbroom]

Shoot Click, I can't find it again. But, I found a place where you can look.

A guy named Davorin seems to have resources for sale at his website.

Here's one of his pipes that is right up your alley.
