I think it is important to repeat, if you plan to make a pipe that you will use, please, please do research. Beyond the fact that the wood from conifers often burns and tastes terrible. Types of both soft and hard woods can be extremely toxic. Always be safe and have fun!

Hi Adam. I am a long-time pipe smoker. Yes, you are correct, it is referred to as a Churchwarden pipe. For those who might want a safe and "smokable" churchwarden that looks just like the one Adam made they can be found at any Renaissance Festival. They are made from olive wood usually and smoke quite well.

Either that or a lot of tobacconists/smoke/cigar shops will have basket pipes for somewhere in the $5-15 range in shorter length mouthpieces, and some pipemaking shops have some rough pipes for not that much more that are matched to churchwarden stems if you look hard enough. Plus the maker types that don't even want to smoke them have access to a whole new maker hobby. Heheh.

As a woodworker who has made a couple pipes I will say that you usually wanna make the bowl and the stem separately. To carve out the bowl you wanna use a drill press and a modified spade bit that has a rounded/radiused shape on the cutting end. The easiest way to make the bowl is on a lathe, one piece, no glues around fire…

Use high heat resistant woods! Ones that are as food safe as possible. Briar, Cherry, Olive, Pear, Elder, Maple, White Ash. Like cigars, pipe smoke should not be inhaled. If you want to impart pleasant smells in your pipe, use an aromatic blend of tobacco. I recommend Captain Black as it is cheap and smells quite nice. My dad smokes pipes constantly and he hears me complain when he doesn't smoke aromatic blends. More than a few pipe tobacco brands and blends are named after LOTR references, so you might try those as well. GL out there and please dont smoke your daughters out of the house with non-aromatics! EDIT: longer pipes are referred to as churchwarden pipes, the clay variants were very long so as to be somewhat communal and hung in pubs, you could pick it up, break off the end and smoke it yourself, then place it back. Or so some stories tell. Originally however, legend has it that at night, the wardens who watched over the church and its grounds (while not in use) were not allowed to smoke inside the church, so a longer pipe was developed which could be set out of the window, while the warden sat inside the church and kept smoking. EDIT EDIT: Definitely dont stain the inside of the bowl! You can either begin smoking immediately or prepare the bowl with a mixture of activated charcoal and yogurt. Eep eep dont smoke anything with a stained bowl eep eep eep! It is, of course, actually a prop in the video, though so dont fault Adam lol

That is the cutest little plane I've ever seen. I fell down this rabbit hole a couple weeks ago and I had no idea how many different ways there was to assemble a pipe shaped object. The gluing two halves, burning or boring a hole, heating and curving, stem and bowl as separate or one piece. I think my favorite was finding an appropriately curved branch twig and burning out the pith with the stem inserted into a bowl. It creates a different look and experience for sure but to each wizard their own pso.

I've made a number of real pipes from various woods. The really tricky part is lineups in the bottom of the bowl and the neck. You don't want to go below the neckline or you'll have unburnt tobacco below the bottom. The stem was pretty easy, just use a natural hallow wood and drill through the pith. Heat treat the bowl well and use refined hemp oil to keep from scorching. And keep it very clean. Every pipe has a break in point and will season to taste.

Watching you hand carve and sand those pipes was very nostalgic for me. I used to make handcarved wands, mostly out of dried branches I collected from nature. The only power tool I would typically use was a drill to drill out a core. Otherwise, I used knives, files, and sand paper to make the shape. Each one was unique and individual, and I was very conscious of allowing the trapped wand to come out naturally. I commonly ended up with a shape I wasn't quite expecting. Not that I didn't know what I was doing, but that the grain often dictated fun surprises, creating a design better than I planned. I want one of those violin planes. Very cool!

My best friend used to walk around with a wooden staff because of his love of Gandalf, which earned him the nickname Gandalf from my father. I carved him a Gandalf inspired "pipe shaped object" using simple pine for the bowl and the naturally hollow branch of a local bush species. He used to display it on his desk at home (I also made a display base from walnut), but he moved elsewhere, so I don't know what he's done with it since.

You might love the look of antler but I understand the burn and taste is quite nasty. But, antler could make some handsome pipe tools/stands. Try Crab Apple if you haven't yet. It smokes well and often found growing wild alongside intentionally planted ornamentals as it's a prolific spreader. If you can only find young ones, consider the root ball for the bowl. It also makes a fine walking staff, tool handles, mallet heads and even practice katanas.

The two halves construction method is an extremely old one, for smoking pipes the wood is split in half so the grain patterns matches up when you tie the two halves together. I've made several quick and easy chillums from small green willow branches using this method when I forget or break my piece while hiking.

A couple of things worth clarifying, if you're planning on making a pipe to smoke from: Don't use epoxy or glue on any surface that will come in contact with the heat from smoking, unless you want to be inhaling it. For pipes, typically you want wood that is very resistant to burning, and doesn't give off toxic fumes. Briarwood, Cherry, Pear wood among others are safe bets. Do your research, dont just slap together whatever wood you have with epoxy and smoke out of it.

No he managed to fit it, but when he laid out the pipe and traced the curve, the pipe bowed toward the obtuse angle on his cut. When he’s doing the full tracing and cutting it bows toward the long flat. Who knows, maybe he flipped it on purpose because he didn’t want the bowl to be in the wood on the edge of that knot, it just seemed like he had more room around the bowl the original way.

Then why would you smoke a pipe? I've been smoking a pipe since 2007 and never understood or enjoyed "rolling" the smoke in the mouth. You either smoke it or you don't. How can one get the nicotine without inhaling? I've never understood not inhaling whether it is a cigar or a tobacco pipe. I always inhaled the smoke. I light it up once every 1 or 2 hours, take couple or three deep inhales and put it aside. I also make / carve my own pipes.
