Pipe Making fun
Good day everybody... even with the long hours at work I was able to finish these and get the photos made today... the Naunet was by far my favorite to work on and watch the pipe free itself from the briar block.. may you all enjoy your work weeks..and those along the East Coast enjoy warmth and electricity

Re: Pipe Making fun

Re: Pipe Making fun
You're really putting out some nice work James. I really like the naunet, but both are top notch.
Re: Pipe Making fun
thanks again.. the rusticated one smokes like a dream....favorite tobaccos to date in it are McCranies Red Flake and McClelland Stave-Aged 35...

Re: Pipe Making fun
Fantastic pipes! I particularly liked the naunet -- the shape looks spectacular on its own, yet it looks like it would be comfortable to hold.
When you use a non-wood component, like ivory, do you have any concerns about different rates of shrinkage or change with heat and time making gaps where the two components meet? Also (sorry for all the questions) if you sell a pipe with an ivory component, do you have to get a CITES certificate in order to sell it outside the EU? Just curious.
Congratulations on the pipes.

Concerns about diameter changes.. not really.. the only one I've had change diameters is one I kept for myself.. and I took it to Africa with me.. and it was sit inside your oven hot for the week... and the horn changed... no matter.. it's one of my shop pipes..
CITES certificate.. the Ivory was bought in the US.. I'm under a special status for the time being while in the EU since I work for the military.. so it's actually like I'm in the States.. US Post Office..etc etc..
so no problems to date (knock on wood)

These aren't pipes. They're works of art.
