Ok being very new to this I have some questions, so here goes.
1) if I want to get into making pipes what are some links for supplies, like bands,mouth pieces ect. ?
2) would it be OK to use a piece of a branch to practice making them first before going for the actual mor expensive briar,and can you actually smoke with success from a pipe made that way ?
3) which part of the tree is the briar? I looked it up on pipedia and got nothing but confused. I know where several hardwood trees have been uprooted for a few years (oak and maple mostly) and have permission to get what I need from them.
4) when choosing a non conventional wood for a pipe (oak,maple,cherry,ect) would dedicating them for a certain type of tobacco be better over others ? For example If I used black walnut for a pipe would it be better to smoke black Cavendish from it over a light burly?
Thanks in advance for any answers! I drew up a couple pipes I wanted to have made,but between finances and the idea of yet another hobby that my son and I can enjoy together has overtaken me! :lol:
Before some of you get mad I won't let him smoke them, just help me look for some of the materials I will use. Like antlers that deer have shed, more wood for the briar ect. Besides while on these hikes we can enjoy nature,I can enjoy a pipe, and maybe get some Ideas.
