Hobby Pipe Briar Block 9mm Kit Carve Your Own Pipe Your Own Unique Designs New (Half Bent)

I tried several different knives and tools to try to shape this pipe, having never done this before. I found a very course, half round, rasp file was the best, finished off wth course and then fine sand paper. I am pleased with the final shape but the best thing is the smoke. The filter system is an added bonus. A lovely piece of wood with an excellent end result.

I bought one hoping to get an at least average piece of briar to work with but... its a low quality has cracks and the rough cut was horrible had a missing chunk and the stem fitting is not good the stem pops out easily would not recommend and wont buy here again...

The pipe was a gift for my husband. He loves it!
