    I like to use Staghorn sumac wood for my cherokee pipe stems.
    The woods center core is like a natural soft Styrofoam.
    You can cut a branch of it and bend it while it's green on a form and it will dry that way.
    Then take a metal bendable rod and push it through the center and push out all the natural foam out and your left with a smooth hole all the way through.
    Then all you have to do is scrape the bark off and its smooth under the bark with no sanding.
    Some native tribes would even use the leaves as part of their tobacco blends and the red berries makes a great tea.

    I used to make corn cob pipes when I was a kid growing up on a farm. I used hickory for the stems, cleaning the pith out with an old guitar string. The guitar string was steel, of course and wrapped, I found the pitch caught in the wrappings like it was some kind of flexible round file. The "hot wire" process you're using seems a bit faster, though. I've been wanting to take up smoking a nice pipe again, especially when I'm sitting in my sailboat anchored somewhere watching the sun go down. But, it has to be a special kind of 'signature' pipe for me, so I've got to make it myself. Your video is a great help! Thanks.

      @@StockmanOriginal Thank you! I'm real happy to find your channel. I have a few very antique (1800's Native American made) pipe bowls that had been made from the red or reddish-brown pipestone, and thought about putting a stem in one and trying it out, but it's something that once belonged to and was enjoyed by someone else long ago and it seems a bit of a personal or spiritual intrusion if I were to do that. I do a lot of pirate reenacting and thought I'd look for something similar to a meerschaum type of hardened clay so that I could carve a skull and cross-bones out of it. I'm thinking that as it toasted and browned with use, it would give the skull and bones a nice "old-timey" look. Speaking of pipes... Have you ever tried making a ceramic bowl as an insert inside the wooden pipe? I'm' wondering how something like a thickened version of the stuff they used to make porcelain would work out. I almost think that it could be largely dried in an oven and would eventually cure itself as the pipe is broken in and smoked. Also, I have a source of good, thick black slate here on the farm and it would probably work well as a pipe stone. I'll send you some if you wish. Hmm... that has me thinking about carving the skull and cross-bones from that. It'd look outstanding in a polished slate or soapstone.

      @@brianstockman5764 Brian, thanks for the info. I haven't started carving it yet -- still inundated with some family stuff. The slate quarry is just adjacent to my farm, so there's no problem getting you some black slate. There's supposed to be some slate on my farm, too, but I haven't found it yet. Give me some idea of the sizes/thickness that will work for you and I'm sure the neighbor will just give it to me. I can probably pack and send it in one of those USPS fixed rate boxes. Are you interested in any clays? We have a clay here (and I'm not sure which one it is) that was famous for pottery making in the 1700s and 1800s. There's a white, gray and a bluish gray. It's in the riverbank that borders my farm. I've never played with the stuff, but it might make some interesting pipes, etc. but would have to be fired, of course. I don't have a FB account, so we'll have to get in touch some other way.

    Hi! First, thank you for this video. I found it informative, and it answered a question I've had for a long time (about how pipe makers make that long skinny, crooked hole).
    I made one this weekend using a coat hanger and a sapling that I think is ash. However, after this process if I "pull" through the stem, its like drinking a campfire. Super chalky/smoky/nasty tasting. I took the now-cold wire and jammed it in the hole a few times, then blew into it and a lot of black dust shoots out.
    Do you have a recommendation for "finishing" the inside? Did i not burn enough? Too much? Should i try to use something to continue scraping the burnt stuff out of it? Compressed air? Does the tobacco smoke mask this?
    Any advice is appreciated. Trying to make one for a good friend and want it to be great 😎 thank tou again

    • @StockmanOriginal
      @StockmanOriginal  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hello Superwesman, so happy to have you with us. Once l get the hole burnt out I do usually run it through a few more times and blow it out. I’ve never really had a problem with the taste, ash is kinda sweet. If you double over some fine wire, like you would use to making a wreath, then twist it up , of course make sure it’s long enough to run through the stem, you can use that as a cleaning swab by putting some cotton string or something in the eye. But I think you might not have used ash, just guessing. There are some nasty tasting woods out there.

      Hey Dylan, thanks for watching. It only takes a couple minutes really, problems l could think of would be: sometimes the saplings have smaller piths, or maybe the wire is too small and doesn’t hold the heat( l use coat hanger wire). The pith is usually about 1/8” on the ones I do.

      Hello Rosskstar, thank you for checking out our channel! We appreciate your support. You might be impressed with how long it takes to clog up one of these stems ( unless you don’t use a screen). Usually the pith burning results in a bore of about 1/8”and the charred wood absorbs a lot of the moisture. It will eventually clog like any stem would, and when that happens you just run that hot rod right through again, all better.
