Well haven't made a pipe in a while, but I have been doing a lot of art work. Trying to get my name out there and sell some stuff this year.

Hey folks, I ran across a guy that has a big supply of elk, mule deer and white tail antler. Some are whole, some are already cut in pieces. He was a knife maker and is selling his supply. If interested, send me a name and number so I can call with info. I'm going to take a look at in in a few days ...

Mom and new baby are doing fine. Big brother is doing great with his new brother. Computer has been down for a bit so I'm trying to catch up on all the threads. I think I burned a retna.

Just thought I'd post a pick of our newest Spence. Morgan was born yesterday, 6 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 inches long. My 2 year old ain't sure about him yet, but I guess he will get used to him. Mom and baby are doing fine. [img]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums ... .jpg[/img]

Can Mahogany be used for making a pipe? I picked some up from a local guitar making shop and thought I'd play around with some of it.

I found a few differant types of holders they make, or made. Some are nice, some are kinda ugly. I just wanted the 2 Edwards pipes, and the guy threw this in, all 3 for $ 15.oo. So I figured what the heck, I'm almost out of room for pipes anyway. lol.

I got this Syroco Wood pipe holder while on vacation last week ( it came as a deal with 2 Edwards pipes I wanted ). If any of you are pipe holder savy and can tell me anytjing about this holder it would be great. The only marking is a a small sticker on the bottom reading " Syroco Wood, Syracus...

Ok, so maybe I should of started reading the threads first before posting. Lol. Now I'm ready for next year to get hear so I can give growing my own a shot. Thanks Robert, and for the stems and seeds too.

Is there a book or anything on growing your own tobacco? I'm going to give it go next year and would like to know everything I can before doing it. I havenot read the threads in this section yet, but will soon. Living in Tennessee I hope to find a varity of seeds to go along with some I already have...

I bought 1 ounce of Dunhill Night Cap to give a shot and see if I like it. It is very dry, is it supposed to be? I know some tobaccos are supposed to be dry, but this is really dry.

Awsome pipes!! I love the stain contrast on the second one.

Nice

Thanks Robert, let me know what I owe for the stems.

Thanks for the help guys.

I just got a Savinelli 2320 bowl from ebay. It's in great condition but needs a stem. I have not made a stem yet, so I am looking for somewhere to buy one. Does anyone know where I can buy a pre made or a good used orginal stem? I checked the local pipe repairmen and to have one made I am looking at...

I have not tried my hand at stems yet, but after reading about the heating problem, could you get a spray bottle with water and wet every so often to keep the material from heating?

Nice pipe Kurt.

If it's used, ya might need super glue. Lol.

I just may give the butcher's block oil a try. If I use olive oil, would that be virgin? Lol. Thanks for all the tips.

Thanks Trevor. I'll take your word on it. I may play around with it later. I'm getting flakes this week. I know a lot of carvers hate shellac, but so far I like the finish it gives a pipe. I have a friend who is a wood worker, we are going to get together and and play with differant compounds to see...
