:Great to see you here James, and look forward to seeing you on the pipe makers forum. You'll find lots of info there, as well as a great group of pipe makers, like Frank!! I agree with him on the stem material. Yes, there is a huge difference. I have found that the German Ebonite and Cumberland are well worth the added expense and hassle. We invest so much time into these things it really seems like false economy to me to cheap out on the materials. On the other hand, when you're learning, you might as well use less expensive stuff until you quit ruining things! I think you'll find there is a learning curve to pipe making even though it sounds like you do have some series woodworking chops. At least I certainly found it so, and I still ruin perfectly good materials from time to time. Rad Davis alluded to another stem material he's been experimenting with, and you'll find all sorts of other experimentation going on in the forum threads... --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 17:19, 16 October 2008 (CDT) | |||
