These are some pipes that I have made in the last year. This one of the most recent- this was on track to be a volcano with a military mount when I ruined the stummel with a drilling accident (still not sure what happened). I wound up with a very nicely grained stummel with a short shank. I have just started working with bamboo and was not sure how a bamboo mortise would hold up, so I elected to add a piece of briar with a military mount. I think the shank is a bit too long.   Zulu   Collared Brandy  I am working on making the shank face more presentable  tulip I cut two stems for this pipe which was done for the Pipe In The Hat exchange on Pipe Makers Forum   DocAitch |

Thanks, Don. That last is very reminiscent of the 70s era free hand with a military mortise thrown in. It was exchanged in the PITH 2016 exchange on Pipe Maker's Forum.

I like the Zulu, although they are all very nice.

G'morn, they are classic examples of their type, I favour the Zulu then the Freehand, bye.

I have 6 bamboos in the works at this time, will post them when they are done in 1-2 weeks.
I also received an invitation from another local pipe maker to sandblast a couple in my queue which have cosmetic issues ( flaws in otherwise beautiful grained stummels). I am looking forward to that, it might light a fire under MRE to get my own sandblast set up going.
