Indian pipe

[Flint50]

I saw some really neat Native American pipe bowls on ebay. What kind of wood is used to make a stem? Is the stem pressure fitted into the pipe? There was a real nice one for $1600.00, I wont be getting that tho..
Thanks-Flint50

 

Most of the Eastern pipes I've seen have a cane stem insterted into the pipe. Western and Great Lakes pipes tend to be more of wood, like ash.

well i could tell ya what the Lakota pipes stem is made out of LMAO .

i doubt however you would want to make one to smoke from LOL

the stem and the pipe are pressed together and traditionally the bowl and stem are not carried in the same bag that
