I don't know if it's clear from the photo, but the airway doesn't meet the center of the chamber. It's off to one side by maybe 1/8". I can't imagine it could be fixed, but will this pipe smoke okay? Or do I have my first piece of briar firewood?

I'm still looking for somebody who makes a 3/4" spoon bit, which would be equally useful in making tobacco pipes and Windsor chairs. You could use those two items at the same time, too, come to think of it.
That would work, but I'm not sure how one would go about it and come out with a round hole.leafdobson wrote:drill a larger hole centered on were the airway came out. as long as the wall doesn't get too thin.
