Yes, It's Time For Another One of Those Threads

Ok, so I came across some pics of Neerup pipes. Really? Are we just drilling two holes in a block of wood and calling it a pipe now? I've never made a pipe in my life, but I'm pretty sure I could make one of these on my first try.

Definitely not my style.

Would those be Virgins?

 

[ashdigger]

Cranberry juice fixes that....or so I'm told.

I made this nifty apple shape pipe a few months ago....

That pipe will keep the doctor away!

You should see the mess I made with my squashed tomato....

A lot of companies do this. Savinelli calls this a "fan".

Looks like there's an uncarved Dublin in there 8O

In the original post, I kinda like the last pipe & could imagine it fitting in my hand. (It does look like a paperweight with a stem growing out of it though.) - As for the examples above it - - not so much.

Nice Apple pipe, one of your 5 a day, or should it be 6 a day with your vitamin N?

Îm not into these shapes neither but I guess the point is not so much the craftsmanship but rather the natural beauty of the wood. The grain on that Savinelli is pretty awesome IMO.

 

[mikethompson]

Not my style, but I guess there are buyers for them out there.

I'm with thomasmartin, that's killer grain on the Sav. Most of those are a little past my limits (swoopy Danishes notwithstanding), but I can see they'd have appeal for a lot of people. Chacun a son gout....

I'm more interested in whether they float, because that would mean that they are lighter than a... what else floats on water? a duck... or small rocks. If they sank, however, then they would be a witch... which would turn me into a newt... but I got better.... BURN THEM!!! ::

 

[bnichols23]

Cider! Very small rocks!

If this one had a black or Cumberland stem, I would buy it.
