Somewhere down the line I got in touch with a dentist in Wilmington NC who did woodworking on the side. He had a side business of pouring plastics for pen makers and had the whole setup of dyes and materials. I had the time to really explore the process. I also had the freedom of not having to drill a hole down the middle since tampers can be solid. I also was relatively certain no one would chew on them as well. | Somewhere down the line I got in touch with a dentist in Wilmington NC who did woodworking on the side.

The flame stems were my favorite. I had to cut the flames in a partially cut stem, then press in the liquid plastic, then re-machine it. I have a tamper with three colors in the flames and each color represents that method done three separate times. | The flame stems were my favorite.

I'll have to think about the taxidermy eye. I honestly can't recall right now how that came about. I do know that I wanted a grading system that was somewhat visible from a distance, so the eyes were a way to do that. They were also very easy, just a small touch to the stem with a 1/8" bit and I was ready to epoxy in the eye. I think I used the eyes on tampers before the pipes came along and it was just a natural move to incorporate them into the identity. I've always liked the weird eyeball jewelry when I was a kid, so working with taxidermy eyes was a given once my tampers got strange. I really don't recall any particular moment when I decided to use the eyes for stem logos. | I'll have to think about the taxidermy eye. I honestly can't recall right now how that came about.
