catlinite pipe (SHE'S DONE!!!)
Josh B:
I had a couple hours this evening so I started yet another project. ::) This is a piece of catlinite that was hand quarried from the pipestone national monument quarry in pipestone MN. Only native Americans can work the quarry there so you must obtain the material from one of them. It is worth the effort to get the real stuff from that quarry as not all catlinite is made equal. This piece also has the uncommon but much desired spots in the stone. I got little more than a start on this pipe in two hours of work using hand tools. If I were to use power tools, I could have gotten this far in about five minutes. However, something about using power tools on a chanupa made from hand quarried stone almost seems sacrilegious. I guess I'm just funny that way. Here's this evenings progress. More to come shortly. Josh
