Turn them upside down if they are more parallel at the top.

Technique is equally important as the materials used. The iron acetate can work well but only with nearly perfect technique. Oil stain and then water or alcohol also works or vice versa but also good technique must be used. Double alcohol works great but certain colors do not work well together.

Just a heads up. All is still on schedule. I will update the list with the new entrants soon.

French polish technique to remove excess while the shellac is tacky still. It will even out on all the surfaces. Super thin solution. Dip a wad of cheese cloth that has a micro amount of oil on it and then squeeze out and rub thoroughly.

It can be done a number of ways. I rarely will shape the stem with the stummel on the lathe because in my opinion it gives the shape a machined look. Matching it up by hand allows for there to be a graceful transition.

I’ll post blueprints of the two I’m going to attempt later this week.

I think I'm understanding this Carvers choice correctly. So we are free to decide between a Rhodesian or Bulldog without parameters? Yes. You can pick bulldog or Rhodesian. Bulldogs are considered to have diamondesque shanks. Rhodesians are considered to have rounded shanks. One groove, two grooves...

This is the place to post about anything to do with the pith including design, workflow, etc.. You can definitely create a new thread too. I've got a lot of questions about workflow, form elements, and such regarding bulldog/Rhodesian pipes. Should we start a separate thread for questions, tips, tri...

You are more than welcome to participate and if you have to drop out later due to time constraints just let us know. Post “I’m in” if you decide to join and I’ll add you to the list So.....

Sent from my bloopty-bloop, using hooty-hoo.

Carver’s choice.

I’ll make a blueprint bulldog/Rhodesian for fun if anyone also wants to try a shot at it and post the plans here.

Bulldog/Rhodesian it is!

Ouch!
