A little nosewarmer
Olanigw (Pekane):
I needed to shake the rust off of my pipe making skills for (hopefully) an upcoming trade on a different forum, so I threw this together in about an hour. I blew out of 5 or 6 stems due to my boring wire being too stiff and the twigs too green, but I was able to salvage a short section to use for now.
It was a great way to Zen my way through the disappointment of my Arborist connection cutting my fresh white ash into firewood in a moment of forgetfullness.

Yeah it just scorches my taters when they do that. Very cool pipe by the way. What size hole do you put in the stem? Ron
Pappy:
Cool,man ought to be able to enjoy a good smoke from that. :)

Thank you!
I think it's ~3/32". I definitely need to get some new wire though, something more malleable.
Pappy, I'm waiting for a day off that SWMBO is working so I can break it in without disturbing the family dynamic :)
I can't get too mad at him, since he's my old man and let me live through 18 :)
It was a really rough work day for him, climbing saturated trees between lines of thunderheads. Can't blame him for his priorities.

I am getting a fondness for these simpler pipes like this one. Also doesn't hurt as much to misplace one, not like the hurt I felt when I recently misplaced a nice custom Meerschaum. >:(
I also found that if you rub the end of the stem with beeswax the pipe smokes just a bit nicer!
