Hazel pipe
« on: July 19, 2010, 01:29:12 pm »
Made a little Hazel pipe. Was inspired by a thread about pipes here some time ago. Works great. I also made pipes from Birch and Rowan, they all seem to work.

This one just drilled two holes, 16 mm wide and 32 mm deep, the "shaft" 4mm wide. Straightened the shaft temporally with steam when drilling.

Thanks Josh!

The tree itself did 99% of the work  :)

Cool pipe, workd really well to just find the natural shape and drill it out. I did it with some plum but I didn't dry it well enough and got some small splits. Steve

Thanks Steve!

Next time I'll do the drilling when the wood is green, easier to straighten and I imagine the wood will be less inclined to check when drying if the holes are made. I also had some cracks on another piece.
