Making a Pipe

Only the last pipe was made by me. Choose a hardwood for the bowl. Goldenrod makes an easy stem. I use a gimlet to drill the hole.

Very nice Grimble,
I enjoy making pipes myself and those are excellent! I love the rustic ones. I have been playing around with some more elaborate clay pipes following my Dwarven bent. However I aspire to start making some like the ones you have shown to get a little deeper into the reality of Rangering. :mrgreen:

Wonderful! Despite the fact that I do not smoke, I've been wanting a good "ranger pipe" for ages, but all the wooden ones out there cost an arm and a leg. I should definitely look into making one like this!
