[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 59399, member: 509"] Stummel has been spun on the lathe in two directions, first for the stem, second for the bowl. Then the excess junk is sanded/ground off, which is the line you see about half way up the bowl. A stem has been selected (or milled from rod). Tenon is cut to size, stem is drilled out, spun on the lathe to rough shape. [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/pot001.jpg[/IMG] Ram the stem into the stummel, file, sand, stain, sand, rough polish... now the grain is really showing in the block, but there are a few lines to clean up on the pipe (the stem isn't real good yet, for example) [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/Sasquatchman1/pot005.jpg[/IMG] But the shape is there, the wood was good, and the real hard work is done.
