Okay, here's my attempt. I was constrained by the overall small dimensions of the wood, and the fact that I suck. LOL! I could not figure out a way to make a large mouth and still keep the face proportional, and the beard looking decent. Before I finished this, I carved this face three times...

Lol! It's all appreciated. If I get to work on it this weekend, I'll put up some pics.

Also, I didn't want to give the wood spirit a ginormous mouth. I thought it might look odd. ;)

Ha! Smart A#*! LOL Actually, I thought it would be nice to display the profile of the pipe rather than a frontal view.

What do you guys think about this? I'm not quite sure how'll I do it yet, but the stem of the pipe would rest on a tiny, glued dowel rod. [/url][/img]

Oooh, that's cool! My next project might be a wood spirit carved as a pipe stand. :) I may work on that this weekend. Thanks for the awesome idea! Martin

Hmmm. I'm not sure. But it'll be worth a shot. I may carve the other side of the wood and see what I can figure out. But I do like the idea of combining my love of the pipe and this new hobby. Kyle, you're a fraggin' genius!

Ha! Kyle. It's just the picture. In reality it's only about 5 or so inches tall, probably closer to 4. It's roughly 3 inches in diameter. I didn't even think about making a pipe holder out of this. Hmmmm. I wonder how I'd do that? I'll have to ponder this imponderable. :) Martin

Kyle! Now THAT's a cool idea! LOL. I may just do that.

Dude! That's a gorgeous pipe. I'm jealous.

That's just choice. LOL

Have you watched any of the "weird food" shows to see what kind of crazy things they eat there. :) Out of curiosity, do you have to get a series of shots?

Hey Brothers, I've been away from the boards lately partially because of lack of time, even at work, and partially because of a new hobby - hence the lack of time. :) Does anyone on this board carve wood? If you do, I'd love to talk with the brother. I've only carved four things, and one of...

I have to say, that I get the Johnny Walker thing. You drink it straight on the rocks or with something? Figure not drinking it straight is probably a sacrilege, eh?

Since I've had to give up coffee, and drink mostly decaf teas, this tea is of interest. I do drink a tea with caffeine in the mornings, but that's it. Right now I'm drinking PG tips, but the tea you mentioned sounds quite interesting. :)

As someone who has to always look for budget pipes, I'd recommend you either purchase a few basket pipes, or start wit the lower end pipes which are around $60. I'm not sure where you live, but it you have a TinderBox, their Carolina Briar products are quite nice. I also purchased a beautiful...

Hello Gents, I firstly agree wholeheartedly with the need to support artisans who put forth one of the kind pieces of art, smoke-able art, yet art nonetheless. It's the art of the pipe that first drew me to it in a way that my initial experience with the leaf did not. My first smoke was so...

Uber- That pipes amazing, simply incredible. I love the unique design and the entire shape in general. I'd really like to make a stem from scratch, and I'm really interested in how you shaped that particular stem. I purchased a really gorgeous piece of blue acrylic, but I'm not sure I know...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the responses. I do have two cat tongues, but they are too wide for the hole below the bridge. I may take the advice given and keep the opening mostly round. The dremmel tool works pretty well at slowly sanding away and making the opening to what I think will work. I'll...

Exactly! LOL :cheers: :lol!:
