Outstanding work. Seriously.
Tutorial: Homemade Pipe Made From Your Plant Remains
- Thread starter BeezLuiz
- Start date
Momma's Kitchen is going to be having a art contest on her journal for members to display their art projects not sure she's giving away anything or not. I think your crafts would be a perfect entry. I believe she said it starts May 11th. I really like the joint holder. I have an antique cigarette holder from my great-grandmother that is about 5 in Long and carved out a solid ivory. I have more than once I thought about using it for joints. But could never bring myself to do it I don't think the old girl would approve.

Sounds like a great idea! You know the saying... "pictures, or it didn't happen"
Thanks for the kind words guys - very much appreciated!
That sounds like a lot of fun! I'll have to go check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
Pictures...? I'll getcha some pics? I hollowed out the stem and got it fitted to the bowl. There's a small air leak but I don't think it's gonna affect the over all use of the pipe. It could act as a small carb or I could mix up some glue and cannadust for a wood paste/ filler. I found some tongue oil in the cabinet but not sure if I can use it or not.
I decided to mix up a paste. Waiting for it to dry then I’ll sand down to 600 and use some wax for the finish. Its happening!
Very nice

These are so cool, massive kudos to the guys making these and posting results! I wish I had a workshop to fiddle around in.
Heres the finished piece. Hollowed the stem and sank the bowl, then i married them with some wood glue. I let the bond form then i added a coat of wood wax and let dry overnight. Torched it oh so carefully, just like Beez, and then a second coat of wax. Wrapped with one piece thin gauge bonsai wire and super glued in place.
Itza gneiss, You like!!!!

Thanks!You are off to a great start!
Will probably tinker with it time to time while working out in the garage.
You know, take a few puffs....mix up some nutes...water the plants...meds kick in with some random ideas...."what if I sanded this part down?" etc.
"What if I made it look like a wolf?? hmmm..." LOL
I like the way it stands on its own. Excellent use of the bottom of the trunk!
I made mine sitting outside my garage holding the wood in one hand and the power tools in the other (drill, belt sander, dremel). No workshop needed!
Pretty basic but I don't have nice twine, any way to make decals, or that kind of focus anyway

These are all AMAZING!! Straight rockin it!! Creative work everyone!!
I was pickin through some ‘Deer Antlers,’ and found a few nice pieces. Grabbed a hobby saw and made some cuts, then put all the pieces in a lidded jar of water. They’ve been hydrating for bout a week. Ima strip the bark and see if can throw the ‘stem’ cuts in a vice to shape. No pics of plant pieces in a jar of water...

Any chance you could fashion some sort of steamer box?
Maybe a cookie sheet with a splash of water, cover with foil, and pop in the oven for a little bit? or just set it on a hot stove?
Might work?
That might work and being in the desert of SoCal I don't need the oven, just the pavement in the sunny spot for more than a few hours. Besides, with my luck, I'd smoke out the house, but not in a good way... You know what I'm sayin?!?!?!?!?
