catlinite pipe (SHE'S DONE!!!)
Josh B:
I'm gaining slowly but surely on this project. I got the bowl bored out at roughly 3/4" diameter and approximately1 1/4" deep with a 45 degree shoulder at the bottom. The stem hole is just about finished as well. It is about 3/4" deep with a 3/8" to 3/16" taper(approximately). Now it's just a matter of removing any excess material thats not the pipe. More pics later. Josh

Looking good buddy! Patrick
Josh B:
Thanks Patrick! Getting a little closer now. Pretty much down to the detail work now. Josh
Josh B:
She's ready for the beeswax finish unless the guy I'm making this for would like to see some changes made. Josh
Josh B:
Ok, it has received the stamp of approval! Phewww! That's a relief! So I popped this baby in the nuke for a minute to heat it up and then rubbed beeswax into it. I got a lucky break on the beeswax. I was out of the stuff I usually use, but I remembered that Pearly had given me some at the classic in '13. Got in my string making kit and I still had some of it left! Good deal! Thanks again Pearly! Ok, so here it is with the wax on it. Now I just need to make the stem. Josh
