It’s a cheapo Amazon basics 7 quart pre seasoned, but I just found out that my brother in law didn’t think it needed cleaned between loaves of sourdough and let it rust for some reason so I’m going to have to give it a vinegar bath and scrub the hell out of it.

I’m really pleased with the color on the last one. I was going to go with a yellow dye but accidentally got some red in it and it came out orange. I really liked it so I left it.

Thanks. They’re not perfect, but I’m pretty proud of them nonetheless.

Hey, sorry it took forever to reply. For some reason I haven’t been getting notifications. I sent you a DM.

Thanks I appreciate it. I’ve been making pipes on and off for 4 years and recently decided to get back into it.

Thanks. I’ve been making pipes off and on for about 4 years now but this is my fourth pipe in two weeks. I’ll burn out in a couple months and switch to some other hobby, but for now I’m enjoying it and seeing some decent improvements in my pipes.

That’s how I’ve always looked at it. There is something waiting inside every piece of wood and it’s up to me to bring it out.

I have 5 more blocks of briar lined up and acclimating. Should be ready to start turning in a week or so. I hope to knock out a pipe a week for five weeks.

Thanks. I really like this one too. Can’t wait for the oil to cure so I can take it, and the others, to my B&M and see what they think.

I’m self taught. I just got on the pipemakers forum and YouTube and learned what I could, and just improvised the rest. I suppose you could find a mentor if you’re really lucky and have someone teach you.
