Boswells Northwoods in a Peterson 221 Dracula
AppalachianPiper92, thanks man, I appreciate itGreat job on the pipe. That's a nice looking piece.
And that, right there, is the only problem I can see with being a member here. Ya'll keep making me want to try another blend! There's too many. Cain't do it. But I sure enjoy reading about em all. ?OK, you've kindled a memory there. I haven't had that blend in a LONG time, but used to enjoy it very frequently. Where'd I put that credit card again? ;-)

AlanH, thanks buddy! to me the stem was the hardest part. I ordered some acrylic stems and used on that was a saddle stem and drilled the airway out to my specs. Turned the tenon then fit it to the stummel. Then I cut an inch of of the button end and filled the bit down to a nice thickness and reformed the button and slotted it to a fishtail and tapered the airway to a funnel. I think I will face the tenon off and drill the next one I use out and install a delrin tenon. Much easier than turning the existing acrylic tenon on a wood lathe .Great Pipe! Lovat is hard you have to make the stem ?
rorrer, I know exactly how you feel brother!The memory ain't what it used to be. I need all the help I can get.
I do, though, recall ordering from Boswell quite a bit in the mid-90s and Northwoods was one of my faves. Great to know they're still alive and well. For an aromatic, I recall enjoying Bear Blend a lot, too.
Time to place an order.
"HONEY?? Where's my credit card?"
That dang memory again. The other day I accidentally referred to my iPod as a Walkman and was promptly reminded by my GenZ son that both Walkmans and iPods are relics of the past.
Sheesh. I think I might be, too.
