Treatment and Cleaning of Meerschaum Pipes
Meerschaum is a delicate, light weight and absorbent mineral, naturally present in Turkey and other locations of the planet. A meerschaum pipe has had a lot of hours being precisely carved. Artisans with years of expertise take thoughtful care in carving your meerschaum pipe.
Your new meerschaum pipe is a piece of art and a investment in beauty and joy. Since you put so much of your money and feelings in your meerschaum pipe, you actually want to deal with it properly and ensure it is a source of pleasure that lasts you for many years in the future.
If not taken care of correctly, you meerschaum pipe won't endure for you for as long as you desire. Worse, if not cared for correctly or treated roughly, it could fracture and should be replaced.
At all times handle your meerschaum pipe with dirt free hands. Meerschaum is a porous mineral and may hang on to any liquids passed to it out of your hands.
A meerschaum pipe when brand new, arrives covered with beeswax. Handling your pipe while it's warm aids to remove the beeswax and permits the pipe to color faster.
If it's essential to remove the stem out of your meerschaum pipe, carefully pull and twist the stem in a clockwise way. When reattaching the stem, also twist it in with a clockwise twist. By no means twist the stem counter-clockwise, it may crack or break your meerschaum pipe.
Do brace the stem with your fingers during removing it.
Never remove the stem out of your pipe while it is hot. Meerschaum is softer while it's hot and will crack a lot easier.
In contrast to briar pipes, meerschaum does not need a cake build up to stop it from burning. Any cake build up should be removed because it heats up faster than the bowl and might trigger it to crack.
Don't bang your pipe on a solid surface. Whenever you have to clean the bowl of your pipe, gently tap it in the palm of your hand while supporting the shank together with your other hand.
If there's residue inside the bowl that may not be removed by tapping then utilize a pointy however blunted instrument to loosen and take it away. Sparingly, you should use a pipe cleaner solvent, but don't permit it too deep into the bowl. Never scrape the bowl of your meerschaum pipe nor utilize alcohol to cleanse it.
Do not use pipe sweeteners on your meerschaum pipe. The sweetener shall be absorbed by the meerschaum and plug up the pores.
In conclusion:
Never drop nor tap it on unyeilding surfaces
Do not permit cake to build up in the bowl
Do not twist the stem counter-clockwise
By no means take the stem out of a meerschaum pipe when it's still hot
By no means use alcohol to clean your meerschaum pipe
By no means use pipe sweetener on a meerschaum pipe
With proper care, your meerschaum pipe shall be an artful thing of magnificence, enjoyment, a heirloom and treasure for many years in the future.

How to carve a pipe out of wood in 10 days?
I just went out back in the woods and picked out wood to carve a pipe with. I really want to make it for a gift for my cousin. What are the tools I should use? And I want to make it a one piece, completely out of wood. Do you have any do's or do not's for me? Or websites or guidelines or pointers? thanks!
A drill and wood drill bits. Depending how big you want the wooden pipe to be (is it an L-shape or is it C-curved) either way drill bits are your answer but make sure the bits are long enough to go to the ends. Mark the wood with the drill bits length, so not to go through the other side but making sure to go far enough to be connected once drilled from the other side ^ L > follow. Think of the arrows as the drill bits. Good luck!
