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. ?
The stem was supposed to be a pen but things change. ? I’m still learning how to make stems and making pipes is more fun than pens! I think it turned out pretty good since I’ve only made a handful of stems from scratch.
