So I got some new briar and wanted to try a new shape. What do you think? I got it set up with tiger stripe on the sides and birds eye on the front and back.
This one is a little shorter than I had planned but I found a couple small cracks after I drilled out tobacco chamber and I was able to save the block.
Work hasn’t had me traveling so I’m actually getting some time on the work bench. Here’s my newest pipe, yes my photography still sucks! <img class="emojione" alt="?" title=":rofl:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f923.png?v=2.2.7"/> I hope you like it.
Hello all, where has everybody been lately? I’ve been traveling for work, about 11 weeks out of the last 12. However, I still like checking up the various pipes and projects but I haven’t seen much in the last month or so! Anything new?
Today was a bad weather day outside so I roughed out this plateaux top. I’ll get it finished sometime this week. Need to true up the bowl shape then start sanding! ?
Here’s a new project w/ black&red cumberland stem.
Here’s the finished pipe, the Cumberland doesn’t show well in the photos but really blends with the grain.
So, I got out of work on time (for once), got my workout in, then had time left. I roughed this out in a couple hours.
Finished pics to come in a few days.?
It had some decent grain for an ebuchaun block!
Here’s today’s project. I made them stem yesterday and the pipe today. The briar didn’t have a lot of figure but was clear of pits so I left it smooth. The stain on the pipe and darker lines in the stem are match and turned out pretty good. ?
