Another project similar to that Coronation I posted several months ago: a second stem that is interchangeable with the original. This pipe's even bigger, though --- 8" long and 131 grams.
The reason for the Dunhill is a size comparison. That's a Group 4 Lovat, usually considered a "full size" pipe.
The rest of the pics are self explanatory.
Interesting info bit: the only way to get a good result on stuff this big is to bend the stem when it's 80% shaped, then finish shaping while it is attached to the stummel.

Re: Charatan Supreme "Auxiliary Stem" Project
That's one god awful kink in the original stem. Great work, as always, George.

How do you get the white 'logo' onto the stem?

Re: Charatan Supreme "Auxiliary Stem" Project
Thank you. Great videos. I've probably got one of those things lying around somewhere.
Seriously, great set up and really something anyone with a drill press could put together. Thanks again.
