Re: Finally made my first pipe today
Very nice: I like the starburst pattern and the light color. Is it stained? Did you do something to bring out/contrast the grain direction?

Its stained now but it wasn't in the photo. I didn't do anything special with the grain except ordering my blocks from a reputatable seller, Tim West at J.H.Lowe. It was either $8.50 or $11. I couldn't tell much size difference between my medium and large blocks so I don't know which one I used for this. The finished pipe is 2 1/4" tall, 1 7/16" wide 5 3/4" long 7/8" chamber width

Re: Finally made my first pipe today
Nice!

Give us your impressions on how it smokes, when you light it up.

Must always be a great sensation though, puffing a pipe made by your own hands... congrats!

I believe a new photo is required then

A friend of mine and his wife make pipes. He cuts, and shapes and she sands and polishes. That is how I started last year when he game me this one before I deployed.
