How To Make A Wood Pipe (in ten easy steps) courtesy of MRPIPE over at the woodworking talk forumn. if anyone wants to do me a favor and redo this post with the pics in a diffrnet gallery that would be swell, as i dont always keep pics in my galleries.
hope everything syncs up correct. i messed up the numbers while saving and uploading the pics.

Greetings Peeps, this is a quick (two hrs) cheap (freeoooo) way to make a wooden pipe with just some basic tools. I ask that everyone please refrain from posting until Im done (first time uploading pics, should take about an hr) thanks!


1) here we have a large maple branch that broke off a tree a few months back, you dont want too new as the wood is too wet, best to use something thats cured for at least a couple months. Can be any wood, i just prefer maple. Cut off a six inch piece.

In the second pic you can see the tools, electric drill, electric sander, pencil, bow saw, wood saw, wood rasps.







2) Next put the wood in a vise, use the rasp to take some of the bark off so its easier to mark. Next mark where your bowl and stem will be. I used a magic marker to make it easier to see.




3) Next drill a hole through the center of the wood, through what will be your stem and into the bowl. Be sure you use a drill bit thats long enough to reach the bowl..otherwise youll be sucking on wood...



4) Heres the tough part- Put the wood standing upright in your vise. Stem up. Youre cutting your stem now, saw both lines straight down until you hit right where your bowl starts, then gently saw across the bottom. Be careful not to let the blade go off your line, otherwise you could cut into your pipe hole...then time to start all over and get a new piece of wood..(guess how i figured that out).

When youre done cutting both sides, turn your wood to the next side. Mark both lines straight down. Do as you did for the first two cuts, saw all the way down until you hit where your bowl starts.





5) Now you have your starting point for your stem. Put the stem into the vise and cut the corners off where your bowl will be. Gives you the basic outline for your bowl.

6) moving right along here, now youre going to dig out your bowl. I tried a few different methods, what worked best for me was a combination electric drill with a glass cutting bit 5/16ths and a knife. (you can use a reg drill bit, just takes longer) Be careful not to drill too deep, otherwise youll go through the other side of your bowl (yep did that too )

Your bowl and pipe hole should interconnect now, meaning you should be able to blow into your pipe and sawdust should come flying out of the bowl.





7) Hang on Peeps, were almost there....the last pic didnt show the bowl completely dug out, you get the idea though. Now heres where most of the work and your artistic abilites come in. Put you pipe into the vice, changing position numerous times...use your rough wood rasp to shape your pipe the way you want it to look. Use the coarse side first, then switch to the more moderate teeth later on. Might take an hr or more to get it just right, heres a few pics of how it progressed.







8) Once you get it to the desired shape, use your sander (or a little elbow grease) with course sandpaper to get the desired texture, going to fine sandpaper next. Dont forget to sand out your bowl, makes a big difference.






When youre done fine sanding it give it a quick wipe with a clean,damp cloth.

9) Youre ready to stain it now. I use two coats of a cherry oil base stain. Be careful not to stain or clearcoat the inside of your bowl, cant be good smoking that sh*t!

10) Once the stain dries apply a coat or two of clear laquer. Thats it your done! I read somewhere its best to wet down your bowl before lighting up to cure it..worked for me! Thanks everyone for bearing with me, hope this inspired a few peeps to give it a try

ps. I read that briar is best for pipes, followed by maple, cherry and oak...corn cob pipes are temporary at best.
