Olive Wood Jaw-Breaker

[thesmokindragon]

Carved this one this AM out of Olive Wood in memory of a friend of mine that just passed on this past Sat...It is the "Olive Wood Jaw-Breaker" @ 4.1oz, 1" diam bacci chamber with 2" depth... you can see me light up from the heavens, which I hope my buddy is watch'in ::
smoke'in some nice H&H Classic Burley Kake in her now, then perhaps some SPC Plum Pudding

[seanz]

thats one big block hows it smoke.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Thanks Chero, it is smoke'in good..I'm in the infant stages of my pipe carve'in (this is my third one from solid block) got tons of carve'in to do before I get a GREAT smoker ::

 

[seanz]

all you guys getting into carving has got my fingers itching, I am thinking of finding some local wood to play with, mayhap apple or something similar

 

[thesmokindragon]

@seanz-It is a good smoker so far, but being only my third carve from solid block and doing freehand drill'in. I have to really get some REAL tools to make GREAT smokers ::

 

[thesmokindragon]

@seanz-Any dried fruit woods (Apricot, Cherry, et.c) are good to start with and will be good smokers, just need to take a lil more care with them ::

Looks good, hope it smokes well.

Looks great! I actually like the shape!

 

[oldmaus]

Quarter pound hanging outta yer jaw is a lot of weight but it looks nice dragon. Maybe a small stand with a churchwarden stem would be a good addition....???

 

[spartan]

That thing looks Dangerous. Call It the Chuck Norris, cuz it breaks NECKS!
Good job.

 

[krgulick]

very good looking pipe. hope it smokes well for you.

 

[irish]

sorry to hear about your friend Dragon. Pipe looks good. Hope it smokes well for you my friend. My next bowl will be in honor of your friend.

 

[shaintiques]

Yeah thats cool, I like the idea of a memorial pipe. Thats a swet way to remember a friend.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Thanks all, it needs a much better stem, I just put a cheapo plastic one on it for mach-up, but it is smoke'in pretty good for the first few smokes today and I can skip my weight lifting routine the days I smoke it :rofl:

 

[thesmokindragon]

Update on the smoker: It is doing very nice w/full draw on some SPC Plum Pudding this AM with a side-o-mud...like my other pipe w/1" diam bacci chamber it does a great job with bacci like this or MB VS, Northwoods and Burleys

 

[thesmokindragon]

forgot to mention that it even will take care of any anti-smokers out there if needed...Thor Hammer-Style! :rofl:
Chamber Depth Correction: 2-3/8in

I think you've made more pipes than I've tried different blends of backy... u move so fast!

 

[thesmokindragon]

I can't move too fast, with freehand that means...bench pipes ;-( Damn insane drill'in..must get a drill-press and band-saw if I'm gonna keep at it...it is GREAT fun to make them..even more fun to smoke them :wink:
I have three pipes to make already for others and won't release them until they are perfect...two of them for friends (Apricot, Pistachio or Olive woods / med-sized) and one for a Bday present for my Uncle T (Olive wood/Poker-style med-sized)
