I had an interesting piece of briar with nice grain and tried to make a pipe to fit the grain. Yes, No, Maybe?









Thanks for looking.

You really made that grain in that pipe SING !! The shape, proportions and finish ALL equal a DAMN FINE looking pipe ! If this is just your sixth pipe I'd say you are well on your way !!  :cheers: :cheers:

I like it and normally freehands don't catch my eye. This one is very nice...

 

[Mozjo33]

I like it!

 

[SteveS]

It's very eye-catching ... I love the color and the way it shows off the grain ... what is the diameter of the bore ?

 

[Crafty]

3/4" bore on a mini block I got from Steve at VTfreehand. Thanks for the comments all! I used a light mahogany alcohol based stained as a base, sanded then a light oak over that then buff polish wax.

Beautiful pipe sir great job

 

[Briar Spirit]

Very nice indeed, one thing though, I'd get that bark off the Plateaux before too long, the Plateaux will really 'pop' once it is off, excellent work and a wonderful idea for an unusual shape, I love it, bravo.  :cheers: :cheers:
