We had some pipe bowl blanks and some American bison (AKA buffalo) horns, so we made a pipe.

Very impressive work for sure! Although I wouldn't glue the bowl to the shank - use some beeswax so it won't wobble, and yet can be removed for the ease of cleaning. Just my 2 cents, and I gotta repeat myself - this is a very, *very* impressive work! :D

Thank you so much Yornick. I don’t usually glue stems in but in this case there was some concern about the integrity of the socket and with the stem being fairly straight and not too long we decided it wouldn’t be hard to clean it. We sure appreciate you being with us here.

A lovely pipe. I used to love smoking my pipes, when I smoked, and still have them some twenty years later as souvenirs!

This is a beautiful piece of work! This is the first time I've even heard of someone using horn as a pipe stem. It looks beautiful! The pipe in this video, is exactly the same style and size, that I've chosen as my next one. Of course, the Gandalf pipe is a very close second choice! Lol. I still use my pipe quite often, and with wonderful artists like yourself still around creating these magnificent items, only merely adds to the list of reasons to never stop! Thank you for sharing your ideas, talent, and useful skills with us all. Cheers from the deep south, Alabama the Beautiful.

Hello Chad, thank you for checking us out. I’ve been using horn as stems for a long time now, works great. I’m working on a pipe right now and filming the process. It will be a while before it gets published but it’s coming. I’m making my idea of a hobbit pipe out of pipestone, it’s going to be pretty fancy when it’s done. Keep an eye open for it, l think you’ll like it.

That's a great tip using the flame to bend the horn, I remember watching a documentary about a giant ivory statue of Zeus built by the ancient Romans and is said they bend the ivory by putting it in a pot of boiling water and vinegar so I have always used that method with great success but the flame method seems just as good and much quicker 👌 thanks Brian 🙏

@StockmanOriginal 3 ай бұрын

Dave, that’s so funny that you mentioned that documentary. I knew a man that did restoration work for a museum and had an old matchlock to work on. It had ivory scroll work that was missing and he couldn’t figure out how to do it until he watched that show. I remember him telling me about it and have been using vinegar to bend ivory ever since. Piano keys make really nice little boxes.😉Horn is a little different than bone or ivory and the vinegar doesn’t work as well as heat does. I learned about that a long time ago while working with baleen. Something that blew my mind though was Scottish snuff mulls, check those out sometime. Thanks for being such a great pal!!

Does it impart weird flavors like burning hair when it heats up? Cool video.

@StockmanOriginal 15 күн бұрын

@@jeffcrowley4842 Hello Jeff, thanks for checking out our channel, we appreciate it. No, there’s no bad taste especially while smoking it. If you drew in through it without smoke you might taste a little, but it resins up really quickly with use.

@@StockmanOriginal Thank you for replying. I'm new to pipes and I was wondering if horn would make good stems. I'm might have to give this a try myself someday. Cheers!

Beautiful work, sir. Would this same process work for a deer antler? I think that would be kind of cool, and we have a lot of deer around where I live.

@StockmanOriginal 3 ай бұрын

Hello Cloakdaggercustoms, thank you for checking out our channel. We’re glad you enjoyed this video and appreciate your support. Deer antler doesn’t react to heat the same way as horn does unfortunately but you can move it to some degree with vinegar.
