I used Mahogany which is a hardwood so i know its safe to smoke out of. But anyway i drilled the bowl of the pipe then i drilled the stem after that i took some pencil and planned out the rest, cut off the excess wood sanded it down and i was done. All i needed was the mouthpiece and for which is took a small metal tube about 2 inches long and i flatted it out into a small half inch nub. I then put some electrical tape on it to tighten it up and jammed it in the stem and wallah!!!! i was done.
I havent hit it yet i just sanded it down with some FINE sand paper and im getting ready to gloss it tommorow so it shall be shiny.
How fine was the sandpaper? And if you used 600 - 1000 grid it will be shiny and you won't have to worry about glossing it
Nice looking pipes. Congrats on your efforts. Here is a nice read that you may enjoy. How do I cure my pipe?
God damnit everytime i post a thread like this someone has to 1-UP me...LOL nice pipe dood how did you get the stem to bend at such an impossible angle.
Check out my "new pipes" and "antler pipes" threads I've got some nice pipes in there :blazin everyday:
Great looking pipe, OP. Very nice job! Dude, don't you think it's kinda rude to come in to someone elses thread and try to say your stuff is better? C'mon now.
Sync the photos on to your iPod and you should be able to put them up all my photos have been taken with my iPod and put on with my iPod so try it
Hey guys i just added gloss to the pipe today and im going to give it a day to dry and i read on the can of gloss it said to apply 2 coats or more if desired so i might have to put an extra coat on depending on how smooth it feels.
