Project Information

Quartered White Oak, Walnut Burl, and Gabon Ebony. Cabinet still to be fumed with aqueous ammonia but otherwise complete. What makes this cabinet unique is the door baffle system which allows the cabinet to vent properly without doors being open or otherwise piercing the carcass.
UPDATE: last photograph represents cabinet post-fuming. No stain or dye involved.

You must own a lot of pipes. My wife always told me when I still smoked one, that 2 pipes is enough.

Thanks, Alex. @croquetman while I have a nice pipe collection, pipe cabinets and humidors posted on here are for clients, including this cabinet. It will house only part of his collection, as he has well over 100 handmade pipes.

Fine craftsmanship through and through! Where in c
Chattanooga are you located? I'm in North Hixson across the boat ramp of Chester frost Park. I'd certainly like to converse and study from such an experienced woodworker. Thanks for your post.

Looks good, I like the door design. I am sure the fuming will take it to another level.

Amazing work Scott. What a difference the fuming makes. Your projects make me want to start smoking pipes.

Beautiful work. My pipe collection is growing and I'd like to make a cabinet. Since you smoke, how do you overcome the "stinky pipe smell" as the pipes sit in the cabinet inside the house??

Love the vented doors - cleaver!!

@hjt Thanks again very much! Stinky pipe smell is normally a combination of pipes being put away wet and no case ventilation. The door design in this case vents the cabinet and I am extremely careful smoke dry and to use 4-5 pipe cleaners after I smoke to remove all hints of moisture. Those two things way go many miles toward curing the stale and sour smell you reference.

Thanks for the info. I had thought of getting an ozone machine but have been told that running ozone for a prolonged period can damage plastics and maybe other material too. I'm not sure how true or how long it takes. I may still get one.
