Pipe Making - A Magnum Liverpool

At the end of 2020, a pipesmoking friend of mine discovered I actually make pipes. As he's a big guy, he wanted me to make him a very large pipe.
As luck would have it, I'd been saving a large straight block for this kind of pipe for over 5 years.

I went to work, and the end result is this wonderful magnum size Liverpool. Over 270mm long and weighing in at 141 grams, this pipe is by far the largest I've ever made.


Unfortunately a sandpit opened up on the shank, forcing me to sandblast at least that section. Because the grain was fantastic on the rest of the stummel, we decided to keep that part smooth.
