thank you for the welcome. im glad to be in the presence of so many talented craftsmen and women, as well as the many aspiring pipe makers out there, like myself. i look forward to learning all that i can from the many, many years of collected knowledge on this forum. i also want to thank all the ha...

if you like aromatics, there is a shop in albequrqueueue... (ABQ new mexico) called stag tobacconist. they have an incredible vanilla mix called bosses blend that has the best blend with the least tounge bite, that i have ever run across, and best of all, it is only like 5$ an oz. they blend it ther...

hey thanks! that means alot! im just glad they smoke well lol my great grandfather smoked a pipe and when he passed i just wanted a way to remember him. he always smoked a billiard, and cherry vanilla tobacco. most of the stuff, like where to get supplies, and how to shape the stems, and bend the st...

so far i have seen that aspen, my next pipe wood ( i gather it on hikes through the mountains) is non toxic, and that juniper BERRIES are mildy toxic (digestion issues) when eaten. the wood i have not seen any thing on so far. tastes odd but its not horrible. as far as tooling goes, it's all been fi...

lol i was expecting quite a bit worse. the pics are rougher than the pipe looks. it seems that you did alright. what are you smoking in there?

ahh indeed it does. i spend my working says staring at numbers so sometimes i mentally disregard them, lol my fault. hopefully we'll catch an announcement for the new one

i'm in, if someone will dare to smoke my noob pipe. i liked the theme sushi, but im down for whatever, wanna shoot for late january??

lol i ddnt mean literally. :roll: i know folks who have never trained at either, and are quite good. but put them next to a pro, and its quite clear they would have a lot to learn. natural talent can only take you so far, thats all im getting at. after a while, one would have to learn from those who...

i love your use of natural colors on gorgeous wood. nice use of rustication too, just beautiful work

to chime in, and not to make enemies, since im the new guy, lol, id like to share my thoughts on this, regarding the natural talent/learned method. i have a natural talent for pipe making, and i do not say this on my own accord, but based on the 2 i have made, and given the comments of others, but i...

that is so cool. wish i had one lol

i like it, the color play between the top and bottom halves of the bowl is visually interesting and quite nice. the stem was a nice choice, flaring out like that, and i like the white contrast at the stem mating surface. (forgive my non technical terms) i think the fact that the bowl is dominant, ac...

howdy, im new to the forum, and just wanted to say hello. i have made 2 pipes thus far, and im working on a 3rd. my first was sort of a bent style. i'll have to get a picture as i have yet to try and classify the shape. my second was a strange pipe for a friend. its a non traditional shape with a fa...
