Ok, well, got another pipe done today, pretty happy with how it turned out. Stem from padauk, bowl from african blackwood and apple wood, and mouthpiece made from african blackwood (used for its resistance to human saliva and smoothness). Sea snail shell on the bottom (i love using this stuff, haha).
The stem/body joint is reinforced with a copper tube, so you don't have to worry about breaking it.
I think this might be my favourite pipe yet, the grain and overall feel worked out awesome.

hold the fuck up. how do you do this? how many specialized tools do you use? both this pipe and the one from yesterday are badass. very professional looking. but you're just an amateur artist doing this in his garage, no?
fucking impressive. i'd feel quite baller puffing on that pipe. i'd be expecting some ancient druid to walk through my door any minute to join on the toke session.

hey thanks man, and yea i just do this in my garage, been workin' at it for like 4 years now i guess...
The tools i use are pretty basic, but i did JUST got a new drill bit set, and bandsaw, so pumped. I could make this exact pipe with sandpaper, a hand saw, a razor blade, a vise, and a hand drill with a few drill bits. In fact, i started out using these exact tools... the only problem is that it takes fucking FOREVER, but can totally be done.
Over the years i've been expanding my shop, now i have a beltsander, a bandsaw, a drill press, top quality drill bits and specialty spoon bit for drilling round bottom bowls, good sandpaper of all grades... these tools have made it so that something that might take me an hour to do, now takes me minutes.
...when you have the right tools for the job, everything flows a lot nicer, being in tune with your tools lets you focus on the pipe itself, rather than focus on how the hell you're going to work with these fuckin' ghetto ass tools.
The main thing i use is a drill press, with the more wild designs, a lot of careful drilling is involved... i've ruined countless pipes in this stage, ha. If you're going to buy one tool for pipemaking, make it a drill press.
My technique is sort of liiiikkee... well, for this pipe, i got inspired by the shape of an orchid flower i have, how it kind of curves up and then fans out at the bottom... so i just searched my bin of apple wood that i harvested from a really old tree in my front yard to find something that might work... then i get drunk and stoned and a day later i come out with something that looks totally different from what i imagined, haha.
I just follow the path that the wood leads me on, stopping along the way to fix happy mistakes. 
and when i think about the perfect pipe design, i always think it should inspire fantastical scenarios involving druids, and wizards, and swamps, and gnarled beasts! So the fact that you got it, really makes me happy, haha.
oh man, im rambling, sorry, i don't expect anyone to read this....

That is such a sweet pipe man. You definitely make the coolest wooden pipes I've ever seen. I'd definitely buy one if you were to sell them. 
Do you use them for tobacco or for cannabis, or both? Do you prefer wood over glass for weed? I'd imagine it might mess with the flavor a little.

Awesome pipe and incredible photography!  
The pipe has like an old-growth conifer forest, Lord of the Rings "Walking & Talking trees" vibe to it that is frickin' killer! 
And your photos are very professional. Some of the best I've seen at the Shroomery, and I've been here awhile .
Did you build a little stuido for your pipe projects? What type of camera do you use? (Digital SLR maybe?) Did you take those photos just for the Shroomery? (if so, what a gift! Merry Christmas Meat_Hod!).
Keep up that creative work and incredible photography!

the pictures are definitely good, but it doesn't look like a studio by any means. it looks like a wire stand possibly made from a hanger, a large black piece of paper as the backdrop and a lamp shining from out and above the pipe. but they do absolutely present class quite effectively with budget supplies.
