Working on a whitetail deer skull pipe made out of meerschaum. Going to carve some antlers out of mahogany.

The challenge will be to press fit the antlers into the skull tightly as you can't glue into meerschaum.

A typical day in pipe making.

Two meerschaum pipes in process and proceeding smoothly one day (pic 1).

Two useless swear word absorbers the next (pic 2).

Sonofa... 😀

I'm not throwing them away I'm going to use them as practice blocks and hone my skills...

Trying to shape this shank and stem. Kinda wonky at the moment. Too many lumps and uneven flow lines, but I shall overcome 😀

I need to finish some pipes that I started for some friends, so I decided to get back into practice by finishing this stummel by putting a whitetail deer horn shank extension and longer stem.

Well, it's not finished yet, but it gave me fits. Drilled the stem crooked due to slight twist in antler, broke the shank near the bowl, then drilled thru the to***co chamber (which I plugged with delrin).

I refused to give up as I was determined to see it thru, and I might as well pile all the mistakes until a pipe that I'm keeping.

The end result? An ugly, but extremely smooth smoking pipe!

Gonna enjoy this abomination for a long time! :-)
