My first pipe that i made myself!

[Bosnian piper]

This pipe here is very special to me as I made it myself and it was my first ever pipe. What I love about it is one day I just decided to make a pipe so I picked up a nice round peice of firewood and started carving took me a few hours to fully make it and it was finished a few days later as I did the final touch ups. What I love about my pipe that on the side you can see that it has termite holes slightly dug into the side of it and it makes it look cool and I've never seen anything like it.

A fun project! I started carving them about 2 years ago, and it is a very good hobby. Are you going to add a stem to it, or leave the wooden stem as is?

I think a acrylic stem would make it look nicer and more stylish. In the future I may modify it and add the acrylic stem as I don't really like how fat the wooden stem looks.

Dear Bosnian Piper,
It's neat to have you on the forum. Your avatar's artwork is cool, and I like your creative spirit in making your pipes. I hear that briar heather wood (In Serbo-Croatian: Vrisak) grows naturally in the former Yugoslav republics, and it's great for making pipes.
I have been researching a tobacco from Bosnia called Škija, and thought you might be interested in it (Have you heard of Škija Ravnjak / Drina / Herzegovina Flor? :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/have-you-heard-of-%C5%A0kija-ravnjak-drina-herzegovina-flor.108686/)
All the best!
