Yeti Pipe #22- Forgemaster
After watching the Hobbit, (which I loved), I came away disappointed in the pipes the dwarves smoked, they just didn't seem right to me. So, here's my take on a modest dwarven pipe.
Also, I'm rather excited about my button work on this piece
Edit:
Updated the photos after re-buffing the stem. I also made the second stem for this piece. The customer requested one churchwarden stem and one semi-warden stem.

Great pipe, Yeti! The finish is lovely. I could stare at the bird's eye on the front of the bowl for ages.
Also, I really like the design of your button! The slot looks like it's on a slightly different angle than the body of the button. Is that right or am I seeing things?
Only other thing: buff the inside of your stem before you take pictures.

PS - Your stem appears to have many visible scratches on it still. They're especially visible in the up close photo of the brass tenon.

Gnarly rustication!

Re-sanded and re-buffed. Re-shot the two where you could see the scratches- better?UberHuberMan wrote:PS - Your stem appears to have many visible scratches on it still. They're especially visible in the up close photo of the brass tenon.

Great job man!
Re: Yeti Pipe #22- Forgemaster
honestly.. that is beautiful... did you use a bullet shell? for the brass extension? and is that part of the mouthpiece or part of the stummel

Re: Yeti Pipe #22- Forgemaster
a gorgeous pipe. The finish is absolutely stunning and the design is really well balanced. The only thing I could comment is that the stem looks to be rather matte black than shiny black, but I assume that's just the photographs or my screen...

Massis, if you look down in the post I actually re-sanded and re-buffed the stem when this was pointed out. It's oily black n' shiny now.Massis wrote:a gorgeous pipe.

And the brass was turned from rod stock, and it's a sleeve over the integral tenon. Not part of the shank.

Re: Yeti Pipe #22- Forgemaster
Looks good, but I can see scratches in the stem.
The way to make people want to smoke your pipes is to develop a reputation for excellence in your work. This takes a lot of hard work and several years to accomplish, and there are no short cuts. You just have to keep at it. - Rad Davis
