I beleive I am going to take your advice on this. May start sanding soon. I have been busy getting as much fall work done before snow hits the ground. We have had such a lovely fall I hate to loose a day of outside work whhen I have all winter to work inside.

WOW what a great site. Thanx for pionting me that way. It appears that the corncob lookin one that I want to make is leaning closer towards the cherrywood style. But the peice of wood that I have choosen for that will not leave me enough room to sand in the shank. That is where I was considering epo...

I think next year I am going to try to roll some cigars too. This year I made some chew out of the last of the leaves and I love it. Can hardly be bothered with store bought blends anymore.

Ok new experience tonight. We ran out of coffee this morning so I made a batch of lipton green tea with twinnings lemon tea. Now I dont put much sugar in tea. maybe a little hone but seldom sugar. The little bit of honey I put in seemed to be highlighted when smoking some of my homegrown cased with ...

Thankyou for the advice. I am corrected as far as the stem being a shank. I had never heard the term poker before. This is great new lurnin experience.

I found my seeds on ebay.

Hi their. I am using blackwood on all three pipes. The corncob is going to be a smoooth finish. I will have to lathe a stem and epoxie it to the strummel. I hope I am using the right word there. I didnt know what it was called before. I may use a differrent wood for the stem but probably have to buy...

It is to my understanding that african blackwood is a good alternative to briar. Hoping this is true I went through a lot that I purchased off ebay. There was numorous sizes most of which I will be using for knife handles. I usualy find it easyer to work on three projects at a time as one tool is ch...

I made the rhubarb wine myself. I am a closet hillbilly. I make my own beer, some wine from time to time and my own liquers. I have grown tobacco a few times but this was my best crop ever. I have also been on a forum called coffinnails and have found a wealth of info there. I will be doing many mor...

Hi there. A little experiment I pulled off this fall. Out on the dry prairies we sometimes have a problem with grasshoppers and they like a little chew once in awhile. We were also facing our first frost in early sept and I didnt know how fros would treat teh plants. So I picked a bunch of the plant...

Hey Kurt< The plants dont mind partial shade. They wont grow as big and the leaves will be thinner. This was told to me by another fellow in the knifenetwork that this meathod is great for wrapping cigars. If you dont have an ideal location try 5 gallon pails. They are very hardy plants. Heck I have...

I am only speaking from a Canadian piont of view on this one. A couple years back I noticed the store bought ciggerette tobacco started to have a medicinal taste. and if left unattended would stop burning. HMMMM what kinda addative would they put into tobacco to stop it from free burning when surrou...

I have grown tobacco a few times. And this summer was my most successfull crop ever. What I have discovered is the plants lover very fertile siol, lots of water and other than that they are the toughest plant you could imigine. They will look almost dead and a little water and they perk right up as ...

Ok I realize this is an old thread but coffee or stout just hits the spot. Strong coffee seems to work with any style I like to smoke but a strong English or scandinavian or natural tobacco goes nice with stout ale.

I was introduced to this forum from the knifenetwork forum and have been thinking of hadycrafting a pipe or two of my own. I have decorated a few pipes in the past with a little woodcarving usualy to lighten them. I have been lurking awhile and enjoyed the alternative section and may be able to add ...
