[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 168706, member: 1969"] A coping saw to get basic shape. Blood. Hand woodworking tools, mostly the scallop-shaped and 45-degree ones (I don't know what they're called). More blood. 150, 300 and 500 sandpaper and sanding foam block. A micro-file set (both for sharpening the hand tools and smoothing out the peaks and valleys). A Dremel, ideally to keep the shape of the peaks and valleys. Wooden C-clamps. Polishing wheel on a variable-speed drill, blue polishing compound. Shellac (which I have heard mixed opinions and methods of use, I thinned mine out to a 4:1 ratio with denatured alcohol, just enough to seal the wood--research suggests only waxing is appropriate...it's kind of weird out there about the finish, the pipe maker's forum will confuse/clarify this more: [url=http://www.pipemakersforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=35]http://www.pipemakersforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=35[/url] ...) and finishing with carnauba wax.
