Thanks Brad, that's very kind of you! :D I know I have a long ways to go but I do love making them.

My latest creation (pipe #7) a contrast grain straight Rhodesian with carbon fiber shank, Ebonite ferrule and mouthpiece...

Carbon fiber! What's that stuff like to work? Cool shank/stem!
Thanks Bradley! Working on no. 2 & 3.

Not bad, very heat resistant material, a careful hacksaw does the job.

I just hacked this one out & polished it tonight.
Looking for opinions...would it LOOK better if I bent the mouthpiece?

 

[onepyrotec]

Ended up putting a slight bend in the stem, and I just finished turning & polishing a little pocket pipe. The poor lighting & phone camera don't do these justice. ::

I like that cigar pipe. I've found that I really like a tall stacked pipe. I may just have to give one of those a try.

Just another pocket pipe with a larger Japanese Ebonite mouthpiece.

 

[onepyrotec]

A couple more pocket pipes. This time with cumberland mouthpieces.

Thanks Ed. 4 more to go then I'll get started back on regular pipe shapes. 8)

I didn't like how the last 4 pipes looked, not shiny enough :crazy: So after stripping the wax and letting them dry after re-doing them, I grabbed another block and went to town on an egg shape, or that is what I call it. The first image is after rough shaping to 80 grit. The next picture is after sanding to 400 grit and applying another coat of stain. At first I was thinking of sanding it down and doing a contrast but something came over me and instead of sanding, I did a rustication. It was my first ever attempt at a rustication. The I sanded with 600 to knock down the rough spots & hit it with a few more layers of USMC Black.

Great job Pyro.!!!!

You are doing some fine work, and for your first rustication, wow.!!!!!

Pretty nice looking pipe, can't wait for the pics of the pipe when totally completed.

Well Done.!!!!!

 

[onepyrotec]

Thank you It is going to be a few days before I'll have the time to finish it, but I'll post a finished picture sooner or later.

 

[ejames]
