Finally Made A New Pipe
It has been some time since I picked up a block of briar and did some shaping. I just finished this one this evening. It was far from what I originally had planned for the block, but this is what I ended up with.

Thank you for the compliments, I like freehand designs so much because you allow your imagination and the grain on the briar let loose.
I saw a pre-bored block kit at my local B&M. I bought it on a whim, I made a teardrop shape and fell in love with carving wood. I am planning on creating several more as I have been inspired to not stop this time around. Posted via Mobile Device |

Hrmm, this has definitely intrigued me and I'm now researching on where to pick up the stuff to do this myself I'd love to have a hand made pipe that I carved myself.
Very beautiful work |

Re: Finally Made A New Pipe
After reading some about carving your own pipes, I'm curious, did you stain it then wax it or is that just the natural wood with some wax?

Re: Finally Made A New Pipe
I'm mostly a cigar smoker, but I do smoke a pipe on occasion. I have to say that your pipe is about the most attractive briar I've ever seen.

Re: Finally Made A New Pipe
Please let us know how you finished it and what the process you used to get the rusticated top done was. Now I have a project.
