Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

[didimauw]

As much as I don't like pre stained corn cobs, those look very cool!

Here are a couple that I customized.
I added the stem, but it came about 1mm too thick and made the pipe way too uncomfortably long for me. So, I hacked back the stummel a little and banded it after I bored it out. The band is copper on this one, because I like the way the color works with the blue.
The same on this MM General, except the I made the band out of sterling silver. As a jeweler, I enjoy adding tidbits of stone and metal to my stuff. I am thinking about making my next project a corncob spigot 

What happened, you went from making cobs to disparaging them? :puffpipe: Did a cob insult your mother, or steal your lunch money?

Guess he finally saw the light. :P

Awesome cobs everybody! I really need to buy some forever stems for mine!

Was idly wandering through pages on Amazon the other day, when I came across "exotic wood blanks for pen turners" and suddenly thought, these might be handy for making shanks for custom corncob pipes !

Alright, been planning to upload here for a while now and always forget, so here goes, my corncob collection I keep at the office and carry between here and the house, just because:

And here's my first cob!

^^

Is that the Black Frigate cob?

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

It sure as hell can be, if only I can find a replacement stem that will fit the shank. I don't think this was a MM make.

 

[olkofri]

Ooh, I hope you didn't grab that off that Far East junk we pillaged, plundered, and sank last year!

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

I'm afraid it could be, but I don't see any Asian country markings on it whatsoever, so it could be even worse than that. Nothing a little cleaning fluid won't fix!

Here are the four I own, each one dedicated to a specific blend: Englishes, Virginias/Burleys, Aromatics, and Lakelands. My favorite is the big MM General with custom stem on the bottom. Next favorite is the Mark Twain above it with a custom shank and fitted stem. Second from the top is a stock Charles Towne, and at the top a Country Gentleman, also with a custom stem.

He does cool work and they sell fast. Mine is quite simple compared to most of his work. Check out his page on instagram.

So far they have had two distributors. Walker picked them up after Old Log Cabin stopped. Someone else will more than likely take them over.
