My latest pipe Would you call this a poker?
I love making pokers but now that I work with a lathe I'm trying to make new shapes. Is there a more specific name for this pipe shape?
Re: My latest pipe Would you call this a poker?
Because the bowl extends below the line of the shank, that's technically a Cherrywood shape.

Really? I though 90% of pokers had that feature. I thought the difference was the canted bowl bottom & bent stem, as confirmed by pipedia: http://pipedia.org/wiki/Poker
That would still make this one a cherrywood though

Calling pipe as u want isn't crime
I would call it a poker. Cherywood, i think, is a bent-poker. This one is almost straight.
You may call it "friendly" as well. Dunhill used this name for straight-shank but bent-stem pokers:

I'd call it a poker. I've always used poker and cherrywood interchangeably. It does have the conical bowl of a Dublin, though.

A Dublin Sitter.

Now there's where the bowl bottom extending past the shank line comes in for meandrew wrote:Dublin sitter.
It would be a dublin sitter if it would sit with the shank touching the floor. With the shank this high up, I'm sticking to cherrywood.
Then again, the conical shape for most means it's no longer a poker or cherrywood
Maybe we'd have to call it a "dublinesque cherrywood poker sitter" ?

Poker pipes sit. That's what makes them poker pipes. Calling something a sitter is the same as calling it a poker pipe.
A poker pipe with the shank in this location is a cherrywood.
Why don't you people just do what I tell you? The world would be a much better place!

Re: My latest pipe Would you call this a poker?
I have heard dublins that are pokers be called a "gilpin", but I agree that with the shank where it is it would be considered a cherrywood shape. Perhaps a "cherrywoodublin"?
Re: My latest pipe Would you call this a poker?
Dublin sitter for me! That's, if it really sits.

would you call this one a cherrywood as well then? It has the shank in the same spot, but it's bottom is straight instead of canted, and it's cylindrical instead of conical?

Wow! I posted this almost two years ago and never replied to any of the opinions. How rude of me. Thank you.
