I carved these pipes

[Trichocereus Panza]

I have been carving wooden pieces for a while as a hobby. I collect Y-shaped branches when I go for walks and make sherlocks out of em. It's a good feeling to make ur own pipes, here is two pics of my first one ever made.

It is still one of my favorites. These images are resized, so I hope easier to see.

This one is probably my favorite, I left the bark intact cause it was really cool looking. It hits extremely well.

what kind of wood are those made out of?

[Trichocereus Panza]

Just different kinds that I found in the woods, I didn't identify them. I just make sure they feel like hardwood.

what tools did u use besides a knife? (i kno, dumb question but i need to know this shit lol)

[Trichocereus Panza]

The designs on this one were made using a woodburner.

I use a hand saw to cut the branch. You might use sandpaper after the knife if you want it to be smooth (brings out the grain of the wood more).

I use an electric drill with a long 1/4" drill bit or a little skinnier, use that with a vice to drill the hole through the stem. Then a smaller drill bit goes through where the bowl's gonna be, to meet the hole you already drilled inside (you have to be careful in lining it up). I use a sanding tool with small drillbits and stuff to carefully dig out the bowl.

those are pretty cool man, ive been thinking about making a wooden pipe just to see how it hits...i think ill start looking for good wood

[MullManiac]

[d00d989]

[AndrewLIKESbud]

Right On. Those are some very nice pipes! Keep it up.;)

[go toke up]

trich you ever see the guy on overgrow that grew monster outdoor plants and then used the trunks of them to make various bongs and pieces like yourself, he had some pretty amazing pieces, what kinda wood is that? and do you treat it so when you smoke out of it it doesnt burn wood particles?

[Trichocereus Panza]

and do you treat it so when you smoke out of it it doesnt burn wood particles?
no i've never tried that, what would you treat it with?

[SweetDreams420]

damn thats some skills right there.

[Trichocereus Panza]

here's another one, I should probably work on it some more and sand it to bring out the wood grain

[sevkex]

yea you can treat those with something but im not sure what it is, the guy that made the hemp pipes treated them with some sort of sealer but i couldnt tell you what or if itd be safe

those are crafted beautifully man, u have a talent.

i bet there's nothing better than smoking out of a pipe you made with your own hands

[Jennifer K]

Very good work. Real nice looking pipes. Nice to see others talents. Keep up the good work!:) :stoned:

[WeekenD TokeR]

Dude, they look wicked. Hmm, I think I might have to make on of them.

[hex.shaman]

Damn man, those are some tight pipes. Nice handy work

[Nochowderforyou]

Those are some very nice pieces you made there bro. Would you consider selling one to me? If you can, e-mail me here:

I'd love to buy one from you. I especially like the Sherlock ones. I've been looking for something unique and that def. has it. Get back to me man, like I said, I'll buy one if you offer one. I'd make one myself, but I have Parkinsons and it makes holding things very difficult.

Peace.

ever think about staining the outside (not inside the bowl or stem)

[Trichocereus Panza]

ever think about staining the outside (not inside the bowl or stem)
well not really but that might be cool. I don't know much about staining, and I've just been using the tools I have at hand right now. Plus, I really like that rough natural look for now.

Nochowderforyou, I sent you an email.

[slpntrx5]

dude, you could go straight to tha bank sellin those! damn you could charge alot since they're handmade and shit. i know a lot of guys who would fuckin love a wooden pipe but can't make one cause their parents are gay as fuck.

[TheAtomicPunk]

Wow some of these are super tight :thumbsup:

[MikeNugz]

The craftmanship in those pipes are incredible. I would highly value those art pieces if I were you. You could use that skill to your advantage. I am also an artist of sorts, I love to draw. :thumbsup:

[partyguy420]

u should put up an add in he cannabis classifieds, and sell those after u stock pile a couple.

and just start a small hand made wooden head shop that way.

[Kush Over]

Those pipes are fucking awesome. I'd like to try my hand at carving now that I see those, honestly. I'd like to try for a more Gandalf style pipe, maybe even dressed in Native American fashion.

[Trichocereus Panza]

Those long-stemmed pipes would be extremely hard to do with the techniques I've been using, if not impossible. I think you really need to make two pieces and attach them afterwards, but I still don't get how you hollow out a long curved branch.

But yeah, all of the LOTR pipes from the movies kick my ass.

[orangeman]

Thats actually cool! Blaze up foo lol.
