Apologies for the two posts, the first one messed up when it was posted.

I have recently gotten into making wooden tobacco pipes, on my lathe and sometimes by hand. They are simple but do the job that's for sure!!


These are some i have made,

My own pipe:




A long "Gandalf" style pipe I made early on:



A pipe I made for a friend (these tend to be the type I make if somebody requests one):

I have had 2 individual pipes commissioned and have to say the craftsmanship is outstanding!

Nice work, really like the 'Gandalf' style one.

What woods are you using for the bowls? Have you had any of them for an extended period of time? I ask because in my days as a piper I'd always been led to believe that it was either Briar root or Cherry wood......
.....Ropps, from Holland for the Cherrywood bowls,IIRC......................atb mac

I used Mahogany and Beech. I have been using one of the pipes for about 6 months and it seems to hold up fine.
