A friend of mine makes inane tobacco pipes. I commissioned this piece and could be happier. Find him on instagram @archerpipes. #woodworking #pipemaking

Northumbrian Smallpipes chanter held between centers on a lathe. An end mill bit is mounted on a flex shaft rotary tool and cut holes into the chanter.

Four pen blanks, about 3/4" square and 5" long, in boxwood. The wood has a straight grain and a nice golden color.

I received some nice, dry boxwood yesterday. I have about 20 lb. in the shop, but it's still pretty green. I'll use these pen blanks to practice turning mounts. I'm looking forward to it, as boxwood is legendary for how great it turns.

1” rod of about 12” length. The wood is dark brown with black lines.

A hole in the rod shows where the bit came in.

A hole, slightly off center, shows where the bit came out.

I just finished boring a blank for an F chanter in Bolivian rosewood. Not too bad. Next: reaming.
