New Pipe I Finished

[Bob the bear]

So I wanted a long stemmed rough grained v style pipe (not sure what the shape is called ?) Anyway they cost a fortune and I like making pipes so I got myself a block of pre drilled briar and off I went. I used a pre existing stem which I counter sunk into the tenon , the finish is natural shellac , just trying something new (the walls are extremely thick so the heat does not affect it ) not a particularly amazing grain to it. But I think it came out quite nicely . A nice chest resting pipe for use while reading in my study .

[didimauw]

Nice job! What did you use for the bowl coating?

 

[Bob the bear]

Not sure what I'll make next. Considering a nice bulldog perhaps . The bowl coating is a thin lining of plaster of parish mixed with activated charcoal and salt, mostly to prevent the taste of burning briar

Make sure you use a low caliber for it. Otherwise you won't be able to play it.
