Smoking pipes are just treated with spirit dyes and then polished with tripoli and white compound and finally buffed with pure carnauba wax. The wood for the stand is turkish wallnut and the pipes are made of briar (the stem is just black acrylic) What do you mean if i glued them together? The pipes just sits on the stand and the stems are just pluged into the wood (with a tennon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
