"I came
home for a short break from a Sundance ceremony and found my
stem had arrived. The stem is beautiful and as I work it so the
insert is correct size for my Canupa I will feel its energy and
become its brother.

CHOOSE YOUR WOOD
Most of our hardwoods we purchase from a speciality store about
an hour away from our home. We hand pick each piece. We look
for unique and beautiful grain patterns as well as exceptional
color. We purchase our Eastern Cedar wood from a local young
man. He cuts and mills the cedar from here in the Ozarks.
Wood Special To You
If you have a piece of wood that's special to you, send it to
us and we will make your pipe stem from that piece. Some of our
customers go to their local wood store and choose their own piece
of wood. Wood grain and color are unique to each board that is
cut. Each piece of wood has it's own unique spirit. When you
can see and touch the piece of wood, the spirit of the wood can
talk to you. |

round. |

CHOOSE YOUR
SIZE
Our standard stems are 1 1/2 " wide. They vary in
length (11"-20") including the 2" long insert.
The insert is tapered to 1/2" wide.
You will want
the fit of the insert to be snug in the hole of your bowl. You
will need to use sand paper to make the final adjustment in the
size of the insert to ensure a snug fit. Start sanding with heavy
grit sandpaper ( 80 grit). It's a process consisting of: sand
a little, test the fit, sand a little, test the fit etc... As
you get close to the finished size, use 100 grit. Finish it off
with a 220 grit for smoothness. The insert is tapered. It
should not go all the way in. |

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH
Most
people prefer unfinished wood for pipe stems. If you choose to
have a finish on your pipe stem, we will use Shellac. Over a
period of several days, we apply several thin coats of non-toxic,
humanly edible shellac to your pipe stem. (It's the same shellac
that is used in the food industry when making licorice candy.)
Clear shellac lets the natural grain pattern and color of the
wood stand out. Your pipe stem will have a soft shine. |
