Anyone know where I can find church warden pipe stems? I reshaped this block but want some different stems and I’m having trouble finding some. Thanks!

Yup, just like the first picture. My BIL bought the one I am carving. I will say that Briar is not really carvable. It is much too dense for my knives. That's why I carved a separate piece of wood and glued it on. The shaping of the pipe was done with a Dremel. In hindsight, I should have heavily taped the mouth piece as I did scratch it.

I just bought a Mr. Brog briar block with a straight stem from Amazon.

Here's a link, but the straight stem is currently not available in briar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009SYZN7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_qmlxCbPWC7TWM.

There are no instructions, but I watched several YouTube videos.

Here's the best video I found: https://youtu.be/-K6eSxTywIQ.

Edit: Spelling correction.

I was really happy with this Mr. Brog kit, the shank is already turned which is nice if like me you do not have a lathe.

there's always this option too: https://www.amazon.com/Tobacco-Pipe-Briar-Wood-Block/dp/B009SYZN7E
