Collector is simply beautiful!
Very nice pipe!!

Yup -- Dreamer and Collector seem like nice original interpretations of traditional shapes. Very nice work.

Yep, that's was the idea. I mean, to get more traditional shapes and make
some little variation. I might be going on this way actually. I notice that
very unusual shapes are visually more appreciated and people basically like
to watch them. But after all, they stick to usual shapes with some kind
of personality. I take myself as an example... I like to make some weird
shapes, but I prefer the more traditional ones when smoking.

Hello all,

After, let's see... two months without any post here are some pipes I made recently.
Nothing that much special, but I hope you'll depreciate them.

Dublin


Zulu


Poker


Dudka


Honey

i think they're all awesome! i'm particularly fond of "poker"!

The Waver, Collector and Poker are my favorites and the Poker is my favorite of all. Really amazing work! I'm curious, how long did the Poker take to make?

Poker and Dublin are my favorites. Right now I'm making one very similar Dublin, but it will be smooth finish.

Great work!

Very distinguished lines,i especially like the Dublin and the intense interpretation of a Zulu pipe.

Gotta go with the Zulu first, and the Dublin second. All great!

Thank you guys. Nice to hear your feedback.

It didn't take too long... about 14 hours of continuous work mainly because I do
sandpaper interspersed with stain. On Poker, I did a black base to highlight the grain,
yellow and brown on top of that.

When I came out with that pipe showing to my fiancée, she said: African look!
She had no idea that its shape came from a traditional Zulu shape.

Hi guys,
Here I'm once again with my pipes
Each of these pipes has a short homemade video. You can watch them either on the pipe's page or straight on YouTube.
I need to get a better camera for making videos. I have a compact one, pretty terrible!
But anyway, the aim of those videos is to show the pipes in the hands
Feel free to comment, to criticize, whatever you want to do.

Cheers,
eder.

Acorn


Omut


Chapeaux


Liverpool

Gorgeous. I love the acorn.

Hey' Eder,
Great defined work,you stile is absolutely recognizable.

Thou partial rustication can be a"cat in the sack "thingy i love your Acorn ,it has a sharp and very distinguished line !
The Omut pipe associates me in its appearance to some Inuit- Scandinavian traditional pattern of shapes underlined through the shank ring stile .
Chapeaux - a pure inspiration executed in briar .
Liverpool - your craftsmanship absolutely recognizable !

Cheerio'
Abi

Im not a fan of bamboo but I love Omut, especially the rustication on the rim! Very nice work sir.

Eder, if memory serves, you do NOT own a lathe; is that correct?

Thank you guys.
I appreciate your comments.

Ćao Abi! You've been very poetic!
I heard that Montenegro is a pretty nice place.
Any time soon I'll come over to bother you

Yeap. I mean, I don't have one. But I confess that sometimes to work without a lathe is pretty hard and slow.
Three days ago, I bought a drill press. I'm f***ing amazed with what I can with it. But a lathe is a project for me.
I would like to get a very professional one but I have two problems: lack of space and
lack of money... it's like a deadlock. But sooner or later "The Lathe" will come!

I was just curious because of your stem work, like the ridge on the stem of the acorn and the tiny, delicate inlays; those are all just carved and cut by hand? Very nice work.

That fine work is basically achieved using Dremel, files and sandpaper. I don't know if you
take that as hand work But anyway, I have a sand band machine that does good
part of the work removing the unnecessary part of the rod. The ridge on the stem of the
Acorn pipe was made using Sanding Bands for Dremel and several grits of sandpaper.
Its inlays were also made using Dremel bits. In general I decide what to do, and them I
lookup among my tools... and crap... I don't have what I need! So eventually I expend
sometime finding a workaround or developing new bits.
I'll tell you a secret. I started to sand the airways Call me nuts or whatever you want.
For that I use knitting needles. They come in several different diameters. So, using a double face tape
I stick sandpaper around the needles and voila: nuts pipemaker sanding the air holes
