Hiya Will. I heard rumors (that YOU started) of cannibals at your place. True? I won't believe it til I see it.

Rob,
Man, and you should know.
Rumors fly around here at TC.
However this one is true.
Your 3 cannibals muddler is next up
after my Lono pepper grinder.
As pictured in the back ground here.

Thanks for the comps guys.
Hard to get too much of that.
MDM, This guy is 30 in tall, Mango wood.
Nice, soft EZ to carve.
Finishes soft with wipe on poly.
Has black lines & specks. Looks like a cross
between palm & maple sugar candy.
Robert, You like this guy ?
Trade ya one of your strumming or drinking Chimps.
I bought 3 more of the dowel kits for 3 more grinders. One dowel is 24 in long. I suspect that one could end up 4 ft tall.
So I was thinking, I bet I could carve a pipe.
Ya, a tiki pipe.Ya, with a Ku head.
A big ol honkin thing.
Something you'd hold out at arms lenth.
A flaming pit at the end of a stick.
I don't know, Is this something we need ?
Are a billion guys doing it already ?

It doesn't matter if anyone else is doing it - what you carve will surely be original. I'm sure we can find a good use for it!

Will I thought about tiki pipes a while back, there are a few vintage ones out there but I didn't really find anyone doing new ones. I know they can make pipes out of clay but I don't know squat about pipes - so I decided that was a bad idea for me. Check out Falcoln Pipes, they sell blank bowls in different woods, shapes, sizes, meerschaum lined, etc. You can carve the bowl and it attaches to the pre-made stem - you don't have to worry about getting all of that right. Plus the bowls are interchangable. On the downside, the parts all seem expensive to me.

Told you I made one - 2007. The bowl was too wide so only half would burn. I'm sure you could experiment to find the right dimensions.
