Mushroom Pipe

Post by meathod »

Bowl and stem is made from African blackwood and holly.

The mushroom cap is padauk with tagua nut bumps, and a brass and copper hinge.

The gills are curly maple.

Oh, and it will pass a pipe cleaner! haha.

Amazing.

Yep, each gill was individually shaped, they have to taper from wide to thin at the stem, so that they look realistic. I wanted to avoid the Super Mario Bro's vibe that this pipe might give off, if it had been a little more cartoony looking. So I went for as realistic as I could get.

Seriously amazing. If I owned a pipe like that, I'd use it. And I've never used a pipe like that. Seriously awesome.
