The Lazy Pipe

A good friend of mine challenged me many months ago to create a tobacco pipe with a stem that came up had a full bend in it. I made one out of walnut as an experiment several months ago and have quite enjoyed smoking from it. I have declared it the laziest pipe I have ever smoked as all the weight hangs straight down and I can simply rest the bit on my teeth without having to worry about it falling out my mouth. I have now finally got around to making a similar pipe from briar. The Lazy Pipe is a beautiful pipe which features a peterson stem and my new red dye which has amazing color. 

Joshua's Horn

My second horn pipe, Joshua's horn is made of plateaux briar. The beautiful straight grain runs down from the natural curve of the briar to a peterson stem. It is stained with black with much of the stain sanded off. The peterson stem lets the smoke out of the top side of the bit which makes it feel cooler since it doesn't hit the tongue directly.

Joshua, I am sure, had one of these in his tent during the siege of Jericho just wishing that tobacco had already been brought over from the New World so he could smoke the inhabitants of Jericho out of their city instead of blowing their walls down.
