It's not easy!
Go and have a good look at Eltang's, I think you'll find much more than I can un-eloquently say.

Again with the Eltang remark?! You said the same thing with the last Eskimo I posted here! Still holds true though, so I guess it's ok... :wink: :lol:
The thing is I shouldn't be trying to make Eskimos at all since I don't have either briar nor ebonite wide enough to make them look proper. I guess I could scale the whole thing down, but then it would end up a tiny little pipe. It's just such a fun shape to make I can't stop myself! :oops:

Oh yes, fun it most definitely is! When pipemaking stops being fun, that's when I'll stop.
