Curly Maple Poker

[user 3779]

Been working quite a few long hours on this one. Maple trim ring on the stem, delrin tenon, trim rings around the shank and rim. Curly maple, with acrylic. Lots of time handworking this. I like how it is has come together, hope you all enjoy it too! All the best.

I've never smoked a pipe made from Maple but if it smokes as good as it looks you have a winner. I really go for things that have a Folk Art appearance and your pipe fits that description quite well.

Thanks AJ! Maple has been used for pipe making for quite a long time, and I think is making somewhat of a comeback in alternative woods. I have seen some recent makers of interest advertising maple pipes in the standard commercial outlets. Putting those burned in trim rings on it had a wonderful smell to it, I would say any flavor it would impart to the smoking experience would be favorable. Walls are a good half inch. thick around the bowl.

Thank you sir! To me this pipe appeals to a certain type of man. The kind of man who appreciates a well shaped top that stays up without artificial support, nice curves and a heavy bottom. I am just that kind of man, glad to see there are a few here like that as well. lol.

Nice work, that's a good looking pipe!
I really like the way the maple MM hardwood pipes smoke, during the breaking in period they add a pinch of sweetness to the smoke.
I just got a Don Warren Maple Dublin in My IPSD PAD & TAD order from P&C.

Thank you!! DW was one of the makers I was thinking of when I mentioned maple making a comeback into the pipe market. I look forward to your take on how that dublin smokes.

Yes, great looking pipe Gonzo.

I really like the details and the shape of the stem. It looks like it'll feel great in the hand too.

Nicely done mate.

Are we still talking about pipes? :lol:

Seems like the perfect pipe to smoke, while grilling a couple backstraps on a cool evening!

Thanks Stick! It does feel good in the hand... at least by my account.

Thanks Dutch! I was talking about but pipes :suspect: ...if there are other things that fit this same criteria...I will appreciate them as well.
