	*	CHOOSE YOUR WOOD Standard Woods Most of our hardwoods and exotics 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. Some of our rare and exotic woods, we purchase from other sources around the country. Non-Standard Woods Most wood will make a wonderful pipe stem. Call us ~ Phone: 1-417-535-6032 and ask about the availability of woods not shown on our website such as: Koa, Curly Koa, Honey Mesquite, Black Mesquite, Quina, Spanish Cedar, Sapele, Quilted Sapele, Rose woods, & Quatersawn woods. 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.
	*	CHOOSE YOUR STYLE - Round or Flat We can make your pipe stem flat with rounded edges or completely round.
	*	CHOOSE YOUR SIZE Our standard stems are 1 1/2 " wide. They vary in length (11"-23") 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.
	*	SPECIAL - SIZES, SHAPES, AND WOOD BURNINGS We specialize in custom fit pipe stems.We can make your pipe stem as thin as a pencil or as thick as you would like. If you need a non-standard size or shape, Call us (1-417-535-6032). We can wood burn Feathers, Birds, Animals, A Name, A Saying etc. onto your pipe stem.
