item from HMS BOUNTY HELP
hi guys .... I have been working on this project for a wile now .. I have a old pipe stand from Pitcairn island it was made by a Ivan Christian a direct descendant from fletcher well they did these in wood work in 1934 for a school project .. I have found on from ben and one from wendel all boys the same age and same time bens sold on ebay a few years ago ..... well they used miro wood for there one and this one is mahogany and the pipes are teak and 1 is brazilin rosewood ......... well a old timer at a cabinet maker has said look in the direction of the pipes being made from the timber pins from a ship he belived they were timber pegs .. so that why I am here in this forum ... they are crude and made from very primitive tools to make a pipe and the family on the island still are there .. they say they have seen a few items over time made or miro but never these timber so could these be timber pins from the ship I have cleaned them and bees waxed them as they were very rough when I got them .......... I should have left them be soryy but I had no idea they could be real wood from the bounty

From the shape, they could be made from fids, conical pieces of wood of various sizes, which were (and I think, still are) kept to drive into holes in the hull. They were various sizes, and the submarine at Sydney Maritime Museum actually had some. My guess is that fids would be made from any offcuts that were around the boatyard.
Hope this helps.
