    Default First Pipe build

    From a blank, but I think it turned out not bad. Comments welcomed!

    So this is from a Greek Briar. I was surprised how hard it was! This is before...


    And finished. I had a couple hours yesterday, so I shaped it and polished it. I used my 2 x 72" grinder to shape it and mostly finish, a little hand sanding in the tight spots. The stem was straight, so I bent it to a more comfortable shape.

    Fantastic Craftsmanship
    Am working on a pipe myself out of a 5 lb Madrone Burl,My state is going to legalize this herb pretty soon.
    Am hoping it will get me off of 5 advils a day (steel plate in my head,Fused right wrist,arthuritis,bad knees and hips)
    Have it set up to hold a 1/4 lb of herb,just have to fit the stem.

    Very very nice. I need to get myself a nice pipe. I love a great cigar but have not smoked a pipe in many years.
