native style pipe

KrisDelger:
Made one quite some time ago but I cheated and used a scrap of briar for the bowl  ::) and a polished bone (sanitized obviously) mouth piece sadly I gave it away at a black powder meetup. I'll have to see if the guy still has it around so he can snap some pictures for me.

uncleduck:
Thanks for the advice. I did a search like Pat B suggested (probably should have done that first) and found a few good posts on the subject. As far as making a stem, I guessing most use a wood with a pith that can be pushed/burnt out(with a hot wore perhaps)? or some sort of cane that is already hollow? I guess I am looking to avoid the power drill route, keeping it in the primitive skills realm.

BowEd:
uncleduck....It's easily worked stuff as said.You can drill it too.Use your imagination.Draw up a plan and go for it.The powder pigment should be rubbed in with a wooden stick or bone stick onto rawhide that is.I think Indian Guy could tell ya even more about that.

BowEd:
Diddo on the stem.Wire with a hot tip.

searcher:
