If a pipe expanded and contracted as extremely as your slabs, the stem would constantly be falling out or gripped too tightly in the mortise. Consider that a pipe undergoes both heat and moisture during smoking. It sounds like a couple of factors are involved, not least of which is what Sasquatch m...

Thanx for all the replies guys. Strangely enough the problem seems to have remedied itself somehow (at least for now) . The slabs were cut fresh from what seems to be very dry wood. It was raining, humid and cold on the day I cut the wood and yesterday was the first warm day in a long time. By yeste...

OT Briar question
I used some briar to make handle slabs on two folding knives and although I took a lot of care not to get it wet or overheat while sanding down and shaping it warped rather seriously and also seem to have shrunk slightly even before the knives are completed. The slabs are 3.2mm thick and screws onto...

Never made a stem like this but I turn my own caps. Basically it's made from solid roundbar. I first drill a hole of the same diameter as the tenon right through and then open it up with a boring bar to the diameter of the shank. It is wise to chamfer the outer edges of the shank slightly to ensure ...
