Thanks. I use standard MM stems so no need to redrill. DAP plastic wood filler, although I have used plaster in the past. The stain is Fiebings leather dye.

My last cob for the year. A Mark Twain with a stub oak shank and copper ferrule. Applied a little dremel rustication to the sides and top. Golden rod forever stem did not match the dark brown dye, so I sanded it down and gave it a wash in ocher water color paint and buff with beeswax. My favorite of all the mods I've done. Wish you guys would have joined me.[emoji22] It was a lot of fun.
More pics tomorrow when the sun is out.

I havent forgotten...I still have a cob mod kit from Aristocob in a box I apparently havent unpacked yet.
Hirsute
Used to have fun with Commander Yellow Pantyhose
Heck, I still have 3 pipe carving kits from the carve your one pipe contest several years ago. I figure if I get around to modding a cob by the end of 2020, I’ll still be ahead.

Ooh...let's not mention that, shall we? Pretty sure I have a fair-sized group of briar blocks in various states of ruin from that very same fiasco.
Awesome!

Oooof... I don't even remember where I put those blocks. I also bought three, and I think I got as far as blindly marking one up with a pencil.
Very beautiful.A few more pics...

Just when I said I was done ... Tommy Tutone sends me a handful of cobs. Thanks again!
The small pipe is a Mizzou I sanded, stained and re-sanded. Carnuba wax polish. I had an a short stem also, so now its convertable. This pipe uses the smaller non filter bits. Also inserted a hard wood plug.
The larger pipe is unknown. It looks like a natural 5th Ave. But I don't see it on the website. It might be a Missouri Pride but seems taller. I used a very small bur bit and rusticated the top and the shank and shortened the shank a bit. Switched out amber for black bit.
