god speed my friend

[P.E.N.G.U.I.N.]

What did you use to carve it?

[tokinggreg]

Awesome dude.. make sure you run air through the pipe to get out all the nasty wood chips inside. A vacuum cleaner is a good idea. Also, what are you coating the wood in to prevent the pipe from catching fire?

I carved a mouthpiece into the second one.

[1234abcd]

Thats cool man...keep up the good work, and its a shame your dry..we'd love to see it loaded and inaction. :stoned:

[ethsfreshman]

Yeah..i would too :p

[Adam01]

Sweet man, I've been thinking about doing this myself. I want to make a big fat bowl on it that's at least twice the size of my current glass pipe. What kind of wood did you use?

[ethsfreshman]

I dunno what kind it is...
i just found it.
i assume any will work. (its is not very piney/cedarey) (if cedarey is a word)

[ethsfreshman]

i just painted the first one ;)
i wanted it to be a rasta-colored pipe. here are some pictures

What doy uo think :D:rasta: :rasta: :rasta:

[ethsfreshman]

im thinking of using the black and red for my next one...

Or, Possibly... i could paint some pot leaves on a white background :)

[ethsfreshman]

Yeah these are tobacco pipes, BTW

Soooo... how do they look?

[DazedNblazed]

Yeah that rasta pipe is cool good choice on colors.

[ethsfreshman]

Thanks :D

[one.stoned.wookie]

nice pipes man what kinda wood hope its a hard wood though so the bowl dont char up and stuff i used to make wodden pipes long time ago they worked good till i got a real pipe bowl(metal) and then started making wood pipes thay would fit the bowl. and i used permant markers on mine then coverd it with some sorta polyurathane or something that dried quick(dident put it in the bowl dont worry) i like using the markers because you can still see the wood grain....

[420purplehaze420]

do you just have a hole in the wall of the bowl to suck smoke through? i made one like that and the hits were so weak, i just threw it out, then i made one with a hole in the bottom of the bowl and it worked perfectly, all i used was a drill and a sharp knife

[one.stoned.wookie]

nah i just drilled the smoke hole first then i made the bowl but you kinda gotta drill ona angle to get it right so the hole is in the bottom but usualy it will be in the side of the bowl but at the bottom if you know what i mean

[ethsfreshman]

Yeah, i just got a hand drill, so now im gonna start making lots of these :)

[ethsfreshman]

i just made a 3rd one :D

like i said, hypothetically, if someone were to want to buy one, they would hypothetically email me at [email protected]

[pixel]

lol man even if u were to say you were going to smoke marijuana out of it they can't prove it and frankly they don't care ;) they got bigger fish to fry :D

[ethsfreshman]

Awesome...
So, umm.... yeah any more ideas on a paint job?

[Bong30]

Freshman....

What you need to do is geat a real hard wood and (fire it) with a torch and then sand off the black. It will have a cool loook and bring out the grain. Then you need to smoke about 100 bowls in it before you dont get that wood taste in your mouth. Make the mouth piece I.D. big enough to clean easy. Are you creating the bowl with a 45 degree chamfer?

Just a few thoughts...

[ethsfreshman]

I took a rectangle of wood like this [_______] and i hollowed out (with a drill) to [__----------}
then i hollowed out a bowl [ O------------]
and carved down to where i hollowed out [O]=====

See? all wood, no fillers, el naturale

[ethsfreshman]

the diameter of the mouthpiece is pretty good sized. a pipecleaner fits in easily, but snugly :)
i have 3 or 4 made so far. anyone that wants one, ill give it to them for free :)

(is it illegal to give it to you? they are legal tobacoo pipes, after all :p)

[ethsfreshman]

So, anyway, um... if you wanna buy one, [email protected]

:p

[Bludshot23]

[ethsfreshman]
