Sandblasted Bamboo Cutty

Post by wdteipen »

Finished this one today. I wasn't going to post this one because it's not my best work. I ended up selling this one as a second for cheap to a friend. It should smoke just fine but there are some aesthetic mistakes. The stem isn't perfect but it's the second one and I decided to cut my losses instead of making a third.

Overall Length: 7"
Bowl Height: 2.05"
Chamber Diameter: 0.76"
Chamber Depth: 1.36"
Weight: 0.9 oz / 26g

The stamping was quite difficult and the "Handmade" portion didn't stamp completely because my stamp area curved into the bowl.

Nice Wayne. The only thing that doesn't agree with me really is how wide the bit is. Overall, the pipe itself is pretty slender and I think the wide stem just seems off-balance. Then again, you've seen my pipes so take that with a grain of salt (I know how sensitive you are.)

I usually paint the nipple pink on pipes like that.


Agree that the bit work is not on par with the rest of the pipe - it just doesn't go that well.

You know me. I like my pipes to double as emergency boat oars just in case you find yourself up the creek without a paddle. :lol:
