Spent part of Friday making a pipe. I have quite a few smaller straight cut Eubachons so thought I'd try my hand at actually making my first billiard shape and first smallish pipe. I don't think I even got close on the billiard part but it didn't actually turn out to be too bad a pipe. It is a pretty small one though. Should make a good flake pipe.
The pipes length is 4 3/8". Bowl height 2". Tobacco chamber is 5/8" and drilling is dead on. I opened both the airway in the pipe and the stem to 5/16 and tapered and funneled the stem itself. Weight of the pipe when finished is .710 oz.
Finish is good, although the grain on these cheap blocks is a bit strange.
The next one will be better I'm sure and I learned a few things making this one. Let me know what you think.
