Thanks Ruddy, I was going to try carving something on the stone but couldn't think of anything. The peace pipe was all that came to mind. It was actually a really fun little project

Badly Bent:
Nice pipe BJ. I like your paint art on the stem and cool to see that you made good use of my old hairpiece.  :)

Redhand:
Nice looking pipe you got there.  Russian olive make a real pretty stem.

Zuma:
"a bit of red fox fur and a bit of beaver fur
  a couple turkey breast and shoulder feathers."

I hope the soapstone is the key to making peace
with the critters too. >:D
Great pipe Bj

Thanks Badly Bent and thanks for the beaver I've used it on a few projects now I think you're gonna have to go  with a Mohawk if you want to use it for a hairpiece again.
Thanks Redhand I have access to Russin Olive and have another bigger stone bowl already made, might have to try it. I used the forsythia because I had it here and it's hollow except for where the nodes are so I could kinda just ream them out with a sharpened small steel rod.
Thanks Zuma I think I'm at peace with the animals, not sure if they feel the same. I always try for clean human kill. Always leave plenty for seed, but try to harvest enough for a heathy strong population. Mother Nature does the same but she can be much more cruel when it's necessary to thin the population. I'm not saying I know more than Mother Nature but I do believe a properly harvested animal population can stave off a certain amount of suffering. I'm pretty sure we're on the same page.
