Smoking the new unfinished pipe


.
Well it still needs a lot of work but it smokes.
happy with the tobacco bowl a nice taper
The smoke hole enters at the bottom of the bowl nice.
The bit an old p lip fits well.
There are 1 or 2 rough spots but i have learnt a lot.
Hopefully the next 1 will be better.
I so need a better chuck.
Yo HH 1 almost down 49 to go Hahahaha.

    Damn dude that's cool, can't believe you beat me to it, although I shouldn't be surprised.
    The pipe looks to be a good size, quite surprising from that small block, and you might end up with a a 'perfect' your first time out, lucky.
    Freakin' awesome job. :)
    Those rough spots in the pics could be grain tear-out from blunt chisels. Do you have any normal wood chisels lying around with better steel in them?

  2. Dave, you ought to keep that one just as it is. Most people would finish it but for some reason I get a strong hunch that pipe is "special" for some reason...other than being the first...just a hunch.
