This is what a Hobbit pipe SHOULD look like...

I got inspired by the The hobbit coming out soon.... And thought I would do a middle earth inspired pipe. Bilbo's pipe in the movies look allrriight... but this is my interpretation.
Stummel is black cherry burl with African blackwood bowl insert and shank ring. Stem is verawood (should turn more green with exposure to UV light) sycamore and macore. I'm trying out a new method of making stems, so that they can be both curved and have a thinner bit that what I usually make. The accent on the stummel is blue coral. And the inlays are turquoise and gold leaf.
Let me know what you think..
