Dang! I had started one, and it is up in Montana at the moment. I am carving an Eagle head on it, but the bowl is not on an inverted "T" stem, should I add a little protuberance to the front of the stem, under the bowl? Unfortunately, there isn't much room, as the bowl is already drilled, and pretty much shaped. Didn't know there was a gender matter in these things, just pretty much thought it was strictly a male privilege. Dang, now I have to try to redesign a protuberance on it. Crap! May just have to scrap the whole thing, and just carve the eagle head, by itself. My Girlfriend would be happy with that. I had thought of making the pipe with the eagle head facing the wood stem, and maybe something on the bowl itself, as a gift, and not for my Girlfriend, but now may have to. It would never be used, as neither of us smoke, but I thought I would give it to someone who would use it. I have someone in mind, but now, I don't want to insult them. And now, I may have to forget the whole thing, unless I have enough to protrude a bit to be sufficient. How much does it require to be masculine. Yeah, size does matter, I know,
but how much?
Thanks for any info on the matter. On the Pipe, on the pipe!
