Danish Style Dublin

[wdteipen]

Finished this Danish style Dublin up early this morning. It's very light at 32 g. The tobacco chamber is 3/4" in diameter and 1.68" deep. The airway diameter is 9/64". The bit thickness is 0.16". The mortise has a Delrin sleeve that makes for a very smooth, nice tenon fit. The stem is German ebonite. It passes a pipe cleaner easily from bit to bowl. There is a small flaw/fissure on the bottom end of the shank that you can see in the second picture. I probably should have sandblasted this one but decided to keep it smooth for some reason. I feel like I'm getting a better handle on my stem lengths. I have a tendency to make them too long and therefor unproportionate. Let me know what you think. All criticisms welcome. (I'm getting better at stamping, too. )

Hi Wayne,
really a nice pipe. If I may say my mind: I see on the third photo that for me the proportions are wonderful! Also the stem fits really well to it! But my opinion must not be important.

It's very light at 32 oz.

I guess we have different ideas of very light.

[wdteipen]

Thanks, Peter. I feel like the stem proportions are good on this one for a change.

Wayne,

to be honest: Lars couldn't have done it better.
Love the broad stem.
Perfect.

Cheerio!

In the words of Farmer Hoggett: That'll do, Pig.


I like it even if Walle doesn't.


Tyler, I'm not sure if you are saying that 32 g is lighter than what you consider light or heavier than you consider light.

I mean, for Sasquatch Famous Pipemaker, anything under 65g is "featherweight".

Check the unit of measurement.

Beautiful pipe... I really like your idea of using derlin as an insert in the stummel.. haven't tried it yet.. but will someday.. a brass ring would have added to it .. set between the briar and the derlin.. so you couldn't see the derlin.. but that's more on the personal side...

I have to agree with Walle.. love the broad stem

Very well done, Wayne! I agree with Tyler though. A 2 pound pipe is a bit much.

LOL! Oops! Yeah, that's grams not ounces. Thanks everyone.

Looks terrible! I think you need to start using my shop, may help your pipe making skills.


All joking aside, nice work...as always.
