Here is one I made. It is made of pipestone (//http://www.nps.gov/pipe/). Hand carved. The bottom and back of the pipe were left natural. The little dots are fossils or something.

Nice, man. The tobacco looks good too
I think the pipe is especially cool with the unfinished bowl end, plus the neat spots that occur in the stone. The tobacco is good too.

I hear Charlize could use my services.

good shit!
Ever wish you were an apple?
I've heard of salvia turning people into objects. That used to seem a bit scary - now I want to be an apple!
Oh, yea, that tobacco may have looked good, but it had a strange taste and smell and made me feel kind of strange - in a good way.
We used to make smoking utensils out of apples when I was (much) younger. We had an orchard nearby. Not the best thing in the world, but when the apples were available and ripe, you could kill two birds with one stoned, so to speak... acutally three!
1) smoke
2) eat the apple treating both the munchies and cottonmouth
3) dispose of the evidence
where legal, of course.
j :D
JRL, I would have loved to have been that apple! Man that is too cool using an apple as a pipe. I have heard it done but never actually thought people did that. Life can be stranger than fiction that is for sure.
Here is a mushroom effigy laughingwillow made.

I like it.
Yeah, I really like that one. Turning out to be quite the carver he is. He just sent me some beautiful capstone early this week as a matter of fact. I love working with the stuff myself. It requires alot of patience. Meanwhile my hands are turning to hamburger working with this new set of differently shaped rasps I have here. Just completed a few random pieces (a bowl and a vial) out of a pink soft marble silica clay mix the other day. Lapidary in general is such a pleasure (specially good quality pipestone.) Am gonna have to find some turquise one of these days.....
I got a photo of some of LW's more traditional works in progress.

Speaking of rasps, I've found I'm using a common 4-1 for most everything.

I like that blue and white one- what kind of stone is that?
j :D
It is talc or soapstone. It is very soft and easy to work with. Although it will break easy as well if not careful. Great material to start with.
some of my random projects lately
