Here are some photos of how I was making my second pipe. You can click on the image to enlarge it.
Unfortunately I didn't make a picture of the briar block, but it looked like this one.
After 3-4 hours of sawing, rasping & filing. Almost the final shape
After staining. I decided to change a little bit the shape of the top of the bowl to make it look more unusual
After waxing with carnauba.
There are two small flaws but they don't spoil the appearance of the pipe.
