Yeah, I've seen a few pipes along the way with different types of horn/antler/bone rings.

@ Massis...thanks man.

Thanks Kurt. I'm glad I actually kept my scraps around...I typically throw everything like that out.

Never throw out scraps! They're always good for something - tampers, jigs, or even smoking your dinner.
