Make your own pipe

[guado]

I was just surfing around, and found this site:

http://www.briarblocks.com/pipes/

I thought it was cool to see how, what, where they get the briar wood for pipes.

Cool website but that grammar on there makes my head hurt! LOL

Yeah, You can get a nice pipe for the cost of a piece without the work.

Unless you have a killer source for briar, you really won't save any money. Add to that the difficulty of briar to work, making your own can be a cool conversation piece but far more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.

**Disclaimer: My bench still has a half done pipe on it from June **

Yeah, I have no intention of making my own pipe....ever. I just thought it was a cool read about the source & manufacture of the raw briar.

I'd like to try it sometime but I'm no woodworker so I need to get some really cheap pieces to destroy before I stumble into making something usable.

I want to try to make a pipe out of juniper wood... I think it would be interesting. I also thought of making one in cherry wood.

Very cool post. Might be worth looking into. I'm a horrible woodworker, but it would be fun.
