Found my gramps' old pipe. Unfortunately the tenon was broken and he fixed it with tape. I tried to look into the mortise but saw no clues of it. How does one fix this? Is there a way to recreate the tenon using the old stem, because I have some spare stems but they are too big for this pipe.

I would probably buy a new stem for the bowl. Like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3pcs-Ebonite-vulcanizates-mouthpieces-Stem-For-Tobacco-Smoking-pipe-Fzui01-/131703816645

Its more sanitary that way anyway.

>>1060068
you could most likely remove the broken stem part from the bowl with a stud extractor then either glue the extracted part back on the stem or better still just buy a new stem, as stated it will be more sanitary, if you have no intention of actually smoking the pipe then gluing the stem back together will suffice I guess, personally I would just buy a new stem either way.

A pipe general is probably a little bit too specific.
Anyways I'm going to post my pipes.
This one I made a year ago as a gift for a friend after we started smoking pipe just recently.
The chamber is fuckhuge so it tends to get a little hot if you don't smoke it slowly, but you can really feel like a steamtrain with it.

Anyway. This one here is my newest but for some reason I can't find a pic with the finished product. Not that it has much of a finish since I tend to just oil them and thats it.

Nice! I have a meerschaum pipe as well and love it. Supposedly that material is used for a better cleaner smoke.

Chrurchwarden stems are great. The smoke gets cooler the longer the stem, so you don't get toungebite as easily.
