Elephant foot

Mid June I went to the best place in the Northern Hemisphere, Whistler BC. I went up there with a very good friend of mine “Joe from Poulsbo” maybe you know him. We spent a day riding our mountain bikes at the world famous Whistler bike park, and neither of us had to go to the clinic! After a long day we left the mountain to set up camp at a near by campground. After a delicious dinner consisting of two cup o’ noodles each we got down to the evenings entertainment. Joe had bought two expensive English beers, and I brought some of my own blended tobacco, and we proceeded to drink what can only be described as liquid pleasure, smoke our pipes, listen to the near by river rush by our campsite, and discuss what ever came into our very tired minds.

I made this pipe with that weekend in mind. It has a very deep bowl   2 3/16″ which allows for a great long smoke. The Briar stummel fills my whole hand. I used Wenge for the band and inlay. And Cherry for the stem which will take on a dark redish brown color over time. I’d be glad to make one for you too.

Living in the Pacific Northwest I see mountains regularly, but the one that most grabs my attention is Mt. Saint Helen's. On clear days I see it on my trip to work and back. What amazes me the most about that mountain isn't the destructive force that cut it in half back in the 80's, but rather the rate in which it's rebuilding it's self now. I guess I'll sit here, pipe in hand and watch the rebuilding process.

I made this pipe out of Jatoba because I wanted to see how difficult it would be to carve a pipe out of a wood that is twice as heavy as Oak. And I'm here to tell tell you there's a reason Briar is the choice of pipe makers, not Jatoba! That said, this is a very nice pipe to hold and smoke. But from here on it will only be made from Briar.
