Modified Cob pipe

[cbates55]

Had some fun modifying a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe. Made it my own and I like how it smokes plus looks now.

Cool. Nice addition. What is it made of...

:clap: -That is cool! Love it!

 

[didimauw]

That's awesome! And yes, what is it???

I absolutely love cob mods! That one looks great.
That Danish stem is the way to go for me; I put them on all my cobs. I find the standard stem has too narrow of a bit, and the MM vulcanite stem, while wide and comfortable, just doesn't have the wide open "corn cob" draw I like.

Thats one BA pipe.

The wood ring is made from Juniper. I also put pipe mud in the bottom of the bowl to help fix the placement of the draw hole.

NICE!...

Very cool, especially the carved bit of wood at the top of the bowl

That is an awesome pipe!

I like how it is partially rusticated (?) and smooth wood on top.

@jaq6q, the bottom started as a naked MM corn cob pipe that I cut about the same amount off as the top wood ring. I then stained it with green first and red after that. Glued the top ring on and cut the rim slots with a file and a ring around the shank. The final finish is boiled linseed oil on the outside to seal the stain on there.

I love cobs and that is a very fine looking cob.

A good MM cob is a joy (nearly) forever. So why not make it your own?

 

[cbates55]

@mso489, I agree 100%...
