Yet Another Rustication

Post by JSPipes »

I had a commission for a deeply bent poker sitter stack. More of a cherrywood shape, but the pipe had to have some attitude. In addition, the pipe needed to be rusticated.

After I finished shaping the pipe (difficult on this shape), I decided to try a different rustication. I used a dremel with a burr to deeply carve it up and then some chisels to break it up so it doesn't look like it was carved with a rotary tool.

Incidentally, the pipe passes a pipe cleaner with easy. A fluffy goes straight to the bottom without a hitch.

Anyway, I hope you like the results.

Very nice rustication. Really looks even and balanced and not too severe.
Suits the pipe well. Yes, nice work.
BTW_did you turn the stem?

Best,

The stem is a premold at customer request. It was subsequently thinned out, opened up significantly, and the button reshaped. I wish I could get them as thin at the bite as my handcut stems, but it's still quite comfortable.
