Hi all,
I was recently in the company of someone smoking a beatifically turned tobacco pipe. He had it made for him from apple wood, cost him over a grand:o. When asked about the construction, all he could tell me was that instead of the usual carving method, the maker uses a lathe to turn them either eccentrically, or in a couple of sections that are later joined, depending on the model. I haven't been able to find anything more on this, but would love to give it a go.
Can anybody shed some light on the subject?
Cheers,
Aaron
