If you have a lathe you can center clamp a dowel or a square in using 3 or 4 jaw chucks or wooden or metal holed draw collets you can center drill from the drill chuck in the tailstock. This works because the drill bit will self center in the wood - because the middle of the wood is turning at a lower speed than the outside.
A blue ballpoint pen is far easier to see and to cut to than a pencil saving a great deal of time. They make inflatable rubber sanding drums ith sleeves that would save you time fairing out your curves. I would use templates in standard shapes to mark out with. Probably 1/8" clear plexiglass so you can see the grain to it's best advantage. I built industrial molds and prototypes, scifi models, architectural models, furniture and cabinets professionally. I also did jewelry, lapidary, engraving, carving in all skeletal materials, wood, plastics and metals. For replicating animorphic medieval spoons and pins, jewelry patterns, etc I would use gravers, dental tools and scrapers custom shaped from saw blade pieces. Woodcraft sells miniature scrapers in sets of four for less than $20.
Actually, I mentioned two safe woods. They were cherry and briar. Not all woods should be used for pipe making, however. For example, most species of oak are toxic to humans when smoked. I am sure there are others. I typically use briar, cherry, and olive wood for my pipes.
I received one of your pipes as a gift. Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you and I am glad you liked it!
Nice work on pipe and editing Thanks
Thank you!

Nice bit of work, both the pipe and the video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Beautiful layout work ✝️🇺🇸🙂

I got some halfling leaf that will make you see Smaug if you wanna break it in :D
I'll have to pass, buddy, but if you want a good pipe, go to firstagewoodworking.com lol. God bless!
great viv going to try this one ,but where do I get the silluettes & dimensions for pipe bowls having trouble sourcing them
cheers
Outstanding
Great pipe ... You didn't show glueing the pipe stem to the bowl. Is it glued together or simply a pressure fit
It is pressure fit. Gluing the stem to the bowl would make it very hard to clean.

That is a Beautiful Pipe SIR 😃😃😃😃😃
Now , do you Deliver ✝️🇺🇸🤔
Great 👍👍👍
What wood is used for the stem? I've used bamboo and sassafras. Just what was available.
I think that one I used white oak and maple. I make them using all kinds of woods.
a nice churchwarden pipe
Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏🤛👍🦅😎🇺🇸
Your lungs must look like a sheet of particle board.
Great work though.
You make notice not to use toxic woods but give no examples of what those might be and only one safe wood.
