Seriously, though - it's a lot of fun. Good luck. Definitely send me an IM if you have any questions. I can send you some dye if you like - since I use aniline powder (that I then mix with alcohol), the powder is pretty easy to ship. |

Here are some pictures of one of the pipes I posted about a few days ago - although this one has already been promised to a colleague of mine, so it is not for sale. I think the shape and the grain turned out really nice.
... and, once again a tiny flaw appears just as I am finishing the shape. Briar can be an asshole.

And here is the other one. I really like the shape of this one, and I used a fancy stem.
(That said, if someone likes the pipe, but wants a more traditional black vulcanite stem, I can obviously make a different stem for it)

Two new pipes. Well, one is not "new" in the sense that I made it a while ago (number 095), but I was never quite happy with it ... I so I stripped it down and re-shaped it, and refinished it. So it's kind of like a new pipe, but still has the earlier number. I like it a LOT now, but it's probably not for everyone. It is quite large, so the big curve bottom fits really nicely in the palm of a hand. The grain is fantastic, IMO.

This one is new, and is sort of a custom order. It is based on part on earlier ones I have made, but I decided to take it in a more "hybrid" direction. I like it a lot.
... that said, the scratches on the bottom are bugging me a lot, now that I see it - so I might actually re-do it, which might mean having to refinish the entire thing. I guess that could be good news, if someone wants a different finish/color.

So what colors did you use on the latest one? I'm guessing black, then yellow, then green? Looks good. You should have files in a slot for an extractor. Shank almost looks like the lugs on an AR bolt! Looks really nice. I'm going to try black and green on a Dublin for my son in law. If it turns out anywhere near as nice as yours, I'll be happy. Keep posting up the pipes. Miss seeing this thread updated. No slacking!!!

A lot of coats, to get exactly the color I was going for. Thanks!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks to me the chamber bit is a hand ground spade bit. Something you could do yourself to save on tooling? Beautiful craftsmanship!! That makes sense. The ones I already bought will probably last for a while, but that’s a good idea if I ever need more. Vinlandpipes.com ? Yep. The website is optimized for desktop, so while it WORKS for a mobile device, it doesn’t look great.

A pipe has been shipped out to Qatar today.
... man, I just haven’t been making many pipes lately. I think it’s because I love summer and the heat so much, I don’t want to be cooped up in the workshop - but want to be outside. Perhaps I need to have a formal “pipe making season” (like from November 1 to April 30 or something) and then a summer hiatus.

I keep looking at vinland pipes and although they are amazing, I can't figure out what style to buy.
I had shitty corncob and Dr Grabow pipes in college, 15+ years ago, and haven't touched one since, and basically got into cigars and snus. I do remember having a hard time keeping them lit, which might well have been the drugstore pipe tobacco, or maybe I just sucked at it. Any advice for a novice? |

The Braendevin II (Number 102) would be a great first step into custom pipes. It’s easy on the wallet and a nice shape (I have a couple of Vinlands in a similar shape). It should set well in your hand and all of my Vinlands smoke great. You won’t be disappointed! |
