pipe sheath?

[Man of Tanith]

Anyone ever made one?
For their churchwarden type pipes?
Looking for some inspiration
Thanks in advance

Never made one, but I'd imagine it can be done. Would need some nifty wet moulding around the bowl if you weren't going for more of a smooth tapered look. I think my main concern, especially with a churchwarden, would be making sure that the long thin section is rigid enough to protect the stem from getting bent.

It may be easier to make a wooden liner.
Or you could make a wooden former to mould the leather round. I can recommend half tanned leather as it will thin and rigid at the same time.
