How Long Have You Owned Your Pipe

  1. The fat part of the pipe is made so you can set the pipe down on a flat surface and the pipe will not fall over and spill .
    All the exotic wood used in this pipe is slide over a one piece 1/2 aluminum tubing .
    I use a 1/4 inch heated brass ram rod to clean the pipe .
    The brass bowl shown in the pipe isnt the right bowl for this pipe ..
    The right bowl is in my shop because it fits too tight .

    So far the pipe hasn't broken because of its length i figured it would of gotten broken by now .
    Been dropped a lot and even stepped on once .
    The pipes I am making now has the 1/2 aluminum tubing inside the exotic wood but also 10mm glass tubing .
    The glass does restrict the internal air ways some .
    As far as I know none my pipes that are lined with glass tubing has broken .
    I have made my pipes that are glass lined where i can repair them .
    but it requires machining and redoing the fiberglass resin finish .

    I am retired and haven't made any pipes in 4 years due surgeries .
    I do want to make a black and white tuxedo using Gabon Ebony from Cameroon Africa and either pre band ivory or deer or elk antler inlays .
    The other pipe will be made from Black and white ebony from Cambodia .
    where does Gabon ebony come from - Bing
    The pool cue is made from Black and white ebony .
    I want to make a matching pipe just like the cue .
    Been sitting on some black and white ebony wood for 15 years .. should be ready to turn .
