A little bend in the stem makes it a bit more ergonomic https://video.nostr.build/74b08ed5bc7522b2ccb4ccdf122e6c465199d32426387d31e832e71c165c02dd.mp4
What materials do you use? How do you make and bore the passage through the very long stems?
This one is apple wood bowl and walnut stem. It can be done by opening in half the stem and gouging a channel both sides and then glueing with cianoacrilate. This one is the case. Or it can be done by choosing a very nice little branch and boring a hole through the center with a really hot and hard wire.
Thanks very much for the lesson in pipe making!🙏🏻😀💜🫂💖😁👍 I'll have to give it a try one day...😃
