I do make my own from time to time. I'd say do it. The pre-drills are the best way to start IMHO. Vermont Freehand aka Steve Norse has just what you are looking for and then some.

Nice looking pipe, something I could see myself doing at some point
My brother has been trying his hand at making pipes, trying to get him to join the forum since it's "fresh" now.
Pyro: what do you use as a finish?
Some pipes I made over the last couple years......I am really slow lol

Sorry I didn't see this before. For finish I use regular leather dye, then a little danish oil & shellac to set it. And independent pipe maker taught me to do that. And at the end, I buff with Carnuaba.Quote:

You guys have skills!
I'm going to have to give that a try some time.
Going with one of the pre drilled kits makes it pretty easy. There are also roughed out pipes, no stems, for sale on ebay pretty cheap.Quote:
