My hand carved pipe.

That's very reasonable, and I think I could do a bong too.. I'm not sure, I'd have to see if I have a drill bit. The hardest part is finding a piece of wood the right shape. But my grandpa just cut down a huge oak tree today so that shouldn't be hard. Oh and to let you guys know.. these pipes are 100% fully functional and 100% safe to smoke out of. When they are cored I put a bamboo insert in for the bowl. Bamboo will not burn under the heat of a lighter and does not emit toxic fumes. So they are capable of lasting a lifetime as long as you don't light the rest of the pipe on fire. I also can either paint them and then clear coat it or stain it (which is what I'm going to do to mine). I use to paint before I started carving, so I can do a good job painting as well. Let me see if I can find an old painting I did. Ah, here it is! "

Oh yea, I also do walking sticks/canes. I'm doing one for my Dad for Christmas. It's going to have a laughing skull with flames around it on the handle. The mouth will be cut in to the wood deep enough where your thumb or finger can fit in his mouth to hold it easily. I'm going to do an HD below the skull in fancy letters and then do Harley on one side and Davidson down the other. I'll post a pic of that when I finish, but that'll probably take awhile. I don't know if I'm going to even bother selling the canes cause they take really long to do and are also a bitch to ship... but you know, if the price is right, then I might just make an exception.

EDIT: Oh yea, I did that painting before I started smoking, so I had no idea what a real leaf looked like.. Thats why it has like a bajillion fucking leaves hahaha.

Nice work, Caruso.

I bought this pipe from a Cheyene Indian in Oklahoma last year. Deer antler for the bowl. Dogwood for the stem. He sells them on consignment at a trading post.

(the motorcycle was made in Vietnam out of nuts, bolts, pipe joints, wheel bearings, bicycle-chain link, etc.) Bought that from a street vendor in San Diego.

cool. what'd you carve that from?

Wow, I'm gonna just throw this out there... Correct me if this just sounds out of this world, but I'm guessing wood. Haha anyway cool carving.

rofl.. I don't know if I already answered that or not, but this one is from a pear tree.

[beachguy in thongs]

That's funny. And nice.

Is it a PeaCarusoePipe?

[Caruso329]

Haha no beachguy, unless I happen to come across some green that was laced. Just a regular tobacco pipe I'm making for my sister Mary Jane. "

And guys, I need more price offers before I start to even consider selling them. And 1 bajillion dollars and/or 25 cents (or any other value that extreme) is NOT a valid answer... :thumbsup:

It'd be fucking sick if you made a Zong hookah

Ok, I tried to make a bong tonight and it won't work.. Wood just wasn't meant to hold water ya know? And I don't feel like going through all the work waterproofing it.. no one would want to pay how much I'd charge for a bong anyways. Over a $100 at least for a 1-footer.. but if someone really wants one, and is willing to pay that much, I'll consider it.
