[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 235067, member: 1969"] Yak, let's both STFU about all of that, as much as I don't mind talking about the nuances of online community building. My mind has been yanked back into the realm of the original intent of this thread with the first pipe I ever carved. A pre-drilled number, block ebauchon that had been sitting at this local cigar shop for probably 10 years or more. I carved it and was proud, even if it took weeks for the unique cigar reek to work its way out of the briar. The bowl is wider than I like now, the stem sits a little lower than the draft hole in the shank, there's about a 2 - 3 mm gap between the end of the tenon and the bottom of the mortise, and finally, I think the draft holes in the shank and stem are two different diameters by a little (and yes, the stem matches a nice fit, at least on the outside). It has never gurgled, and if it weren't for the cigar odor I'd smoke more delicate, subtle things in it than mild Latakia mixtures. 8) [/QUOTE]
