Hobbit Pipe
I made this pipe for my wife, she being a fan of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, she was not taken with it and so it is for sale.
To make the stem. I harvested the vine green, pushed a metal rod thru the center, bent it, attached to a form to keep it bent and let it dry. Once dry, the vine keeps it shape and is worked like wood. I carved the bowl from the rainforest hardwood, Bubinga, and fitted it to the stem. I finished the bowl with shellac that I added gold dust to.
I don't think she liked the gold. Anyway, it is a working pipe and I can custom make one to your liking.
13.5" x 2.5" x 1.5"
Bubinga, Kiwi Vine
