I think that's very cool that you make your own. :thumbsup:

Nice works Gypski, I like your choice of a ancient medium to make the pipes out of. The most I have made was a coconut chalice, got the coconut at the Latino market (most of the coconuts I see in supermarkets are unsuitable), chopped down the bamboo with my machete but I bought the kutchie (bowl piece) it was handmade though, I would have made the kutchie but but the only person I know with kiln access a Sculptor named Ming Fay (can probably find his art online) I haven't seen in about a decade so felt a little weird showing up not knowing if he would remember me or not to request access. Shame too because I know where to harvest fresh clay, some cool shit too, it is a Grey color but fires to a really nice red from the iron content I believe.
Anyways, cracked my Coconut some time ago and haven't gotten around to crafting again, always busy with something it seems, plus some of the antique tools I have collected over the years have been lost, so I am doing my work with not-my-first-tool-choices.
here's a pic of a random coconut chalice I just googled, new computer so don't got any pix of mines on it..
edit:: oops first upload attempt failed, adding another pic too, I want to figure out how stands like these are made. I just use a cast iron thingamajig (wow spellchecker didn't even flag that word!) that I found in this old dilapidated house years ago at a colonial village tourist destination. We started walking through the woods and found out there were all these old crumbling foundations from the original village, the tourist site was just all new constructions and some restored ones too, where we went was, out of bounds so to speak

This has gotten my mind working. I'm trying to think of a unique medium now.

The "kutchie" part is basically a chillum affixed onto the body of the pipe , a smoking device introduced to the Caribbean by Coolies (indentured servants of Indian heritage brought in to work the plantations) Actually many parts of Indian culture and their religions influenced the Caribbean culture and even found it's way into the Rastafari movement.
