A good pipe
Badger:
I just started fooling around making pipes a few weeks ago. I think wild rose is used, cherry is high on the list as is plumb wood. The burl of any of these woods is prefferable. The curing process for the burl takes years, they bioil it for hours to remove the oils, they want the wood not so heavy and pourous. I have been selecting plumb branches that have a small branch comming off at about 30 degrees or so that I use for the stem. Very addictive just like bow making. I think I am going to concentrate on the plumb as it is easy for me to get. If you can find woody briar, I think rose or green briar are best. Steve

Uuuuh, I see...
(Remember some 15 years back sitting in a street café next to the Amsterdam Royal Carré Theatre after a gig there with some of the other guys from the band, one had rolled what appeared to look like a cigarette the shape and size of an Eb clarinet and appearently with some ...stuff in it. When these two policeman came by, I walked over to them asking for a light which one of them gave me sayin' 'have a good time'. A SPECIAL moment even for an European...)
recurve shooter:
