My new stash box I just made... 3

Made from purple heart. It's made so that all the grain lines up on the outside, when the lid is on, it looks like a complete solid block of wood, with no changes in grain. The sloppy inlay is of african blackwood. It's the symbol for neptune.
"Neptune rules plants used for the purpose of intoxication, such as Indian hemp, i.e. marijuana, the coca bush, the opium poppy, the peyote cactus, and the psilocybine mushroom.
Rules such bodily functions as the pineal glands and those parts of the nervous system that are sensitive to psychic impulses and related to the aura."
Everything with boundaries that are in one way or another undefined or unclear is ruled by this planet, for instance, gases, dreams, fantasy, vague hunches, etc. It is the symbol for escapism, drug intoxication, and glamour, as well as for high ideals and ideal love.
And the lid has cocobolo inside.
yayy

Cool, I think I need to read more about Neptune!
Thats a beautiful wood! I like how you made the grain line up. That must take some skill. I am going to be undertaking the task of making my own pipe. I need to settle on a wood to use. I live near hardwood forest and I have fallen trees on my property so I want to use a species that I can find in my backyard.
Thanks for sharing!

Damn dude!
Do you have a blog or something that you post your creations on?
I've seen another of your pieces on here, a wood pipe I think. It's awesome work!

Sweet! Do you know what kind of hardwoods are back there? Fruit trees work really well for pipes.

I cut the inlay by hand, with chisels (that i also forged myself), and cut the main box with a bandsaw.
thanks for the awesome comments guys!!

I am seriously intrigued. Forged your own chisels? That's fucking awesome! You're living my dream, haha. Can't wait to have my own workshop, tools, etc.

I have your normal stuff like oak and black walnut. There is an apple tree out there. It puts out nice big green apples every summer. I dont think we have any cherry trees near by. There is a huge black walnut tree right in my front yard.It litters the ground every year with huge green fruits containing the nuts.

Ha, it's not that hard, just...google! You can forge small chisels with stock tool steel, a propane torch, water, and knowledge of tempering/hardening.
And apple wood makes really nice pipe wood, tastes very nice. The pipe in my sig was made from apple wood i got in my front yard...

Hmm you know I think like half that tree died and fell to the ground this past summer too. Maybe lightening? But anyway I should be able to find a decent piece to work with. Im gonna rough out the basic shape with my grandfathers band saw then chisel and sand the rest. Whats the general rule about staining a pipe? Any thing special to keep in mind?

There ya go. and thanks!
As for staining, i wouldn't know much, I've never stained wood. I like the natural colouration myself.
The tobacco pipe industry has staining techniques down to a science, you should google tobacco pipe staining and go from there!

Interesting.
Hypothetically, how much would you charge for one of those?

I think i would prefer not to stain.
How do you get a hole in it with all those curves?

That pipe is gorgeous, I see people easily pay a bill for it (although I doubt you're selling). Great box!
I've wanted to make a pipe myself for some time, I even have a bamboo forest to take shoots from, but I don't know where to start.
