I like the hand carved approach and the ethical/sustainable means. I have dabled in this field and like to use glass or wooden bowls matched with the wood shaft. There is also another member here who makes them out of pipestone, at catlinite. Here are some pics of mine, I am currenty working on a 3 footer :shock:

I think those are so cool!! It would be so fun to smoke out of one of those! I really like your abstract designs and shapes...the glass bowls idea is neat, too...do you blow your own glass?
What tools do you use? ? I use a few different blades and a dremel to hollow out the bowl.
carve, on!
