TheSmokinDragon "Trinity"....Cob, Meer and Briar

[thesmokindragon]

I was thinking about making a Trinity pipe; Cob bowl, with meer insert

with briar shank and lucite bit, whatcha all think ;-) would be fun to

make I think

 

[tokerpipes]

Sounds cool.

Sounds good to me cant wait to see it.

 

[dervis]

Sounds awesome.

I like the meer insert in a cob idea. Wonder how it would smoke?

 

[logandow]

Sounds like it will be a beautiful pipe

 

[thesmokindragon]

I'm going to get a meer bowl in to do some r&d with it (make and smoke a new Trinity)

from there if it passes inspection I might start making them for others...
So now the overall design; what do you all think it should be?
Here is my design idea;

Since a white meer bowl insert I was thinking a tan or dark brown

cob bowl look (like the wax drip series main bowl color) with perhaps

a natural rusticated briar shank and maybe a white swirl lucite stem....

 

[spartan]

Sounds like the only way to go to me.
Any other combination I don't think would work very well.
Cob insert, or a cob shank would be odd.
A briar shank is the only way to go. If you made it the bowl then you'd have to have a meer insert and a cob shank? lol
Unless you can somehow find a way to make a kickass Meer&Birar shank with a cob bowl... Your first take is the way to go. Sounds super interesting.

Sounds cool to me, look forward to seeing it

I thought I saw a couple briar shanks in the latest series of pics on your other thread. So I agree with the others -It will look awesome. Nice job SD.

I'm also going to offer the design not as "The Trinity" but with

bamboo shank as well/it will be lighter this way

 

[thesmokindragon]

Looks like this project is going to be delayed until maybe the Fall, due to the size of cob (2" diam)

I would need in order to build this design correctly........we are all hoping the next

crops will be a golden ones ;-)

You should not be allowed to tell us what you are going to make, without first having a sample of it for our viewing. It is just cruel and nasty to make us wait in anticipation! hahahhahha, looking forward to seeing it mate.

The Meer bowl may entice people who don't care for the taste of a cob.
