How to Make a Billiard Pipe — From Start to Finish

In the last video, I described and demonstrated what to look for in a block of briar and how to lay out a classic billiard shape to yield a perfect straight grain. This video is the follow up, the meat, if you will, that shows you every step of making that pipe from sketching the shape on the block to stamping the finished product. Straight grained pipes also are the foundations for making ring grained sandblasts, as the growth rings that the sandblasting reveals run perpendicularly to the grain. You’ll notice that I am working with a model shape in this video. The model was a pipe that I made for a client in 2014. He recently requested that I make a black version of that shape for him, and I took the opportunity to film the process.
