are you turning the first part of that bowl on the lathe, and if so, just in a bowl chuck?
That is a really fine looking pipe, Bob! How does it smoke?
Do you just buff the pipe to the high gloss? I can't imagine that lacquer would be used...
Trying to figure out how you get the gloss!
This makes me want to make one and try it out. Very nicely done.
Is there a IAP (International Assn. of pipemakers) like ours online?
Do you mind sharing the size holes you have drilled in each piece? I would like to try and make a practice one or 2 before searching out some quality briar burl to make one.
can ebony be used as a bowl material? the how to someone posted here showed african blackwood being used.
