My first attempt at a pipe.
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:26 pm
So, I had worked a little bit on making a stummel out of cherry, and it came out alright. I decided to try my hand at using briar on my jet wood lathe. This was grecian makis briar. I used a premade acrylic stem(which is too long, but is the only one I had lol). This pipe was kind of just a random sketch on the briar, that looked sort of billiard-like in the sketch, but came out looking a bit like a straight pot. I'm happy with it for my first attempt.
For future pipes, I will try to design a pipe and stick to the design.
Also, I tried buffing the pipe with carnauba, with a drill buffing wheel, for some reason the carnauba got built up on the wheel and I think the is what added those scratches. :/
Any input is very appreciated.
