Well here it is, ,my first attempt at making a cob. This past year I grew corn from Missouri Meerschaum corn seeds. Normally the cobs need to dry for a year or two but I decided to speed up the aging process by putting one in my kiln for about 24 hours.

I'm not too pleased with it though. I drilled the chamber to 3/4 inch but I used a 5/8 inch cherry plug. I think the next one will have a 3/4 inch plug. The wooden stem is made from cherry too. I used an ebonite stem to finish things.

The symbol on the plug is an ankh. Symbol for eternal life.
I recognize your pipe stand from Vermont Freehand (http://vermontfreehand.com/shop/). Did you use one of their spade bits to bore the cob?
Leftynick, if you're hand whittling those wood pipes, then you've got a real talent for that.

Hello,
I would like to show my homemade calabash pipe
As I understand it, you 3D printed the mold, then poured the plaster into that mold. The pipes look lovely. I suppose you could use the same mold with clay, then fire the clay pipe.I would like to show my homemade calabash pipe.
I made plaster molds with 3D Printer.
