Whittled me a pipe! - General

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;25405584]very nice I must ask, where on earth do you get ash?[/QUOTE] Its surprising really how much people have forgotten about bushcraft skills. ash is very common out in the english countryside. and in america. the leaves look like this. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Ash_leaves_(PSF).png[/img] [img]http://www.camping-field-guide.com/images/ash-leaves.jpg[/img] as i stated, stems need to be made of young ash saplings.

Sweet, nicely done.

Ray Mears would be proud.

I fucking love it.

dude awesome, looks like just a (shitty low quality [not to imply yours is shitty]) corn cob pipe you can get for like a dollar I want it [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzae_SqbmDE[/media]

You need a Gandalf costume to go with it.

I'd post my handcarved pipe, but I can't find the fucking transfer cord for my camera. My mother lost her transfer cord the first day she bought her camera, and what a fucking surprise, mine is the same kind. So now she takes mine all the time, and plays dumb when I ask where it is... FML... I'm going to search again, my pipe took about 2 days to carve from start to finish. Too good not to post. Found the cord, pictures incoming in new post...

make a corncob pipe next

Thats really good. Great job.

The bowl: Took about 14 hours from block to this. [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/nwzuxk.png[/IMG] Overall Pic: [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/2mceuex.png[/IMG] The stem I ordered custom, to fit the bowl I made, it's Ivory, but starting to show its age.

Very nice. [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] Have fun sucking on your cancer-stick.

Was going to say thanks, but you just changed your post in the middle of me typing.

Where did you get the ivory from? And how much did it cost?

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;25413382]Where did you get the ivory from? And how much did it cost?[/QUOTE] It was carved by a pipe maker from Sweden, but he died about a year ago. Quite sad, he was a great guy, always friendly, and very helpful. The stem was around $200, plus to ship was around $20. So $220 give or take was the final amount for the stem. A small price to pay for a unique stem.

You look like you've been filling that pipe with crack

Im going to make a quick corn cob pipe. Thanks to this thread for inspiration.

[QUOTE=Teh_Medic;25413577]You look like you've been filling that pipe with crack[/QUOTE] Yeah, okay... When you smoke a pipe, it builds a layer on the wall called "Cake". What this does is protect the sides of the pipe from burning through, and it also helps flavor. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_pipe_%28tobacco%29[/url] <--- For general pipe info.
