My First Attempt

[oldredbeard]

This is what it looked like when I won it.

The stem was glued in. I had to break it out and drill the tenon.

This is how it turned out. The stem I used is heavy enough it wont sit though.

I really like the grain.

Red you did it right, damn fine job, how does it smoke?

 

[oldredbeard]

I hate to say it, but I haven't smoked it yet. I had a bowl packed from this morning, figured I would finish it off first.

Thats a good looking pipe, especially for your first try.

Nice job Red! Make sure you smoke some of them samples in her! (Hopefully you'll get them by end of next week.) :puffpipe:

 

[mthanded]

Good looking pipe! Can't go wrong with making it yourself.

 

[oldredbeard]

Thank you all. @wildcat you can bet it will see some of them.

Red I really like that. It's a nice honest looking pipe; Grain, shape, and all. I like how it subtly curves and flares towards the stem. Keeps it from being too chunky.
