Sasquatch makes a pipe
Sasquatch makes a pipe
Okay so here's a pipe I made in my basement, eh? Up in Canada.
It doesn't have a fancy name or anything like those German guys do for their pipes, it's just kind of a pipe. Or maybe I should call it "that kinda reddish pipe with the silver bits", eh?

Like the pipe shame about the photography
How you get the defined line of stain in the chamber?

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
I'm having a hard time seeing this; is that a silver cap on the shank, an ebonite ring, then a small silver band/inlay and then the stem? Or is it just glare? Very nice as usual. I like your penchant for bents. This one looks a bit daintier than is typical for you, though it could be just your giant meathooks distorting it again.
Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
That end cap was a freaky shaped thing the PME sent me with a buncha bands I ordered. It amounted to a tiered piece of silver with a black band wrapping the smaller diameter bit of the silver. You can just see a peek of silver between the band and the stem. It's a cool fitment, but it was a see you en tee to fit by hand. Shoulda done it on the lathe. Live and learn.

Make a mess, sand it out. I'm too dumb for anything else.

Here comes a German reaction:
I´d name it "Dublin, Ont." Eh?
Very nice pipe, miserable competitor!
Cheerio!

I'm not crazy about frills and fuss on a pipe, but this really works good. Nice one!

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
Nice!
I likey the band, silver ring fitment situation there. VEry elegant pipe, Sasquatch! Could you get those suspiciously-devoid-of-stain fingers to take a close up shot of that whole band meets stem part? Jesus, when did you start washing your hands before taking pics? Please don't make good pipes AND get fancy! I like the old Sas.

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
I don't see what the big deal is here. It looks nothing like a tallywhacker.
:p
Strong work Sas. I'd also like to hear how you got such a nice crisp stain line inside the bowl.

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
i like it. the size looks like it would be fairly lightweight and that would be good for everyday smoking. kind of a nice balance between straight forward and interesting to look at

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
Sas, I love the rich color of the stain. The mystery of the crisp stain line has me befuddled as well. Next time ask PME if they make a silver tallywhacker band. OH CRAP! That would make a great band name. Ladies and gentlemen... the Silver Tallywhacker Band. It would be in the same vein as Steely Dan. Did I just say vein?

Well, I never dreamed to hear such praise, Steffen. Coming from you, that means a great deal to me.

Steffen,
Regarding the sausages, did you mean Sas's fingers?

Re: Sasquatch makes a pipe
I like it. Very steampunk-ish. Nice use of grain too.
Either that or it looks like sausages as Steffen says.
