Clang:
What's there not to like? You've made a handsome free standing poker with thick walls that should make for a cool smoke.
You did good, pal.

Nicely done! Good rustic appearance with pronounced grain. I can see you smoking this sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of a wooden cabin. For a first effort, fantastic!

Well done. A few of us here have caught the "make your own pipe" bug. It's very rewarding, and watching your very own pipe take form in your own hands gives you a whole other appreciation of pipes. I'm working on another one myself now, and it really is quite fun. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your pipes if you're inclined to do more. Nice pipe, enjoy the heck out of it.

Well done!

That's a real good looking pipe.

I'm going to try and make a pipe myself soon.

Enjoy. ::

Great first effort. Now you have to let us know how it smokes.

 

[jeepnewbie]

Looks great and congrats on your first one it is a very rewarding experience. Let us know how it smokes.

Nothing better than a pipe you make yourself!

Great job!

Oh wow! I'm impressed.
I like that rustication. It reminds me of a tree bark pattern.
I think everyone should try to make a pipe at least once. It's worth the experience.

 

[foah]

You guys are joking right? You wanted to know what the definition of a pipe turd is. This fits the bill perfectly. Keep making crappy pipes. Pun intended.

 

[jkrug]

foah, did you join the forum just to bash others and be an ass?

Enjoy it while it lasts because you probably won't be around very long!

 

[shaintiques]

Gotta love the pipe making experts. Are you a pipe maker Foah? If so show us some of your work. Actually I'm glad that most of the pipe crafstmen that I have interacted with are humble and share constructive criticism. They are encouragers and care about their brothers of the briar. that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Great looking pipe for a first try!

My first pipe wasnt much more than a branch with some holes and a MM cob stem shoved into the end lol.
@foah - jeez man cut him some slack! Constructive criticism is great but there has to be a bit of constructive to it for that to work. I agree with shaintiques, let's see some of your work!

 

[gogosamgo]

Congrats on your first pipe, I think it looks really good for your first try! I've noticed a lot of people on the board have been creating pipes lately and it's definitely motivating to learn more about it myself!

 

[jparker]

I like the rustication on your pipe, mine was a bit more "natural" LOL

 

[jparker]

Maybe foah could jump in here and give me some pointers...........

 

[jkrug]

jparker that is a very natural looking pipe.

Does it clench well? :lol:

 

[Chasing Embers]

The only crap about that pipe, is the fact that I would smoke the crap out of it! Great job!
