Missouri Meerschaum Modification Exhibition (CobMod 2018)

[Claudel Xerxes]

A work in progress. Reverse calabash.

Man... the others have been cool, but you're hitting this one out of the park! Very creative, Mike!

Things are moving along...

Hard wood plug installed. Finish and fitted the shank / Glued and putty-ed. Now to let it dry.

So here is my last one. I think it turned out ok. A reverse calabash cob made from 2 Missouri Meerschaum seconds (Legends). The bottom plug was oak, and the tenon is Morta. The stem is vulcanite I robbed off an old pipe.

You have just created the most awesome cob ever.

I decided to mod it. I call it the aristo-cane.

I dropped the aristo-cane pipe and the bowl came off. It was just glued on. I decided I like it better as a Cutty, so I removed the side plug and inserted a stem from one of the legends. Also got a new forever stem nose warmer. Filled in the bottom hole I made for the cane, and stained it all. IMO, it turned out nicer than the original little devil cutty.

Yes, downright handsome!

Corn cobs get brittle... Lost one due to cracking... But started what should be a fun RC Hungarian.
Ran out of daylight and give a darn after dodging cars on the bike with a trip to the hardware store.

Any luck?

Any luck?

Dogs got the Hungarian, need to sand the RC down and stain it . Then form a plug and git a stem.

Been working six days and trying to be social on the seventh (or asleep) so the MM projects have been on hold. Then there is regular house stuff, wife going through finals and working OT as well. It'll happen sometime soon.

I decided I needed the stem back for the pipe I stole it from and picked up a danish stem off eBay. Fitted a cork stopper and stained it. I think it still looks pretty good.

And yes, another batch of clays in progress.

Still looks sweet! Those clays look awesome as well

A MM second Country Gentleman. I made it a little skinnier and shortened the shank by 1/4 inch. Installed a danish stem. Filled the outside with putty to fill in some holes, sanded, stained and resanded the pipe then buffed with carnuba.

Looks great! What size bit are you using to to redrill for the stem? What kinda of putty?
