I crafted a bunch of stuff. You guys might be interested:

Just starting to work on my wooden pipe. I do not know which wood I picked: it was just laying on the ground and I cannot identify wood visually. :(

Polished version, finished shortly after tree planting.

When cherry picking, I sculpted this small guy. It's mostly natural work, though.
I'd say it is a Black Magician, but it's totally up to you.

Before finishing my smoking pipe, I had to be creative. While I was trying to get inspired for a design of the wooden pipe to be made, I figure I could probably use dandelions.
Go figure, it works perfectly great! No after-taste, no leaves burnt. Second step to make this natural pipe just below.

Just remove the yellow stuff, and dig all the way down to the stem's hole. Try to leave as many leafs as possible, as they will act like a bowl. Lick your finger and clean the bottom part of the stem, else it will taste bad.

A bunch of natural hooks I crafted. The left-most one is mostly just art.

Just wanted to share those beauties with you guys as well. When I was tree planting, I was lucky enough to find a solitary spot that was the most-perfectly placed of the whole camp: at about 1 meter from the shore line of a lake, with a beautiful hill in front, and the sunset right there as well.
I watched the sunset every night for a month and a half at that spot. I can tell you I took many pictures. ;)
Here's a little bonus-sunset:

Anyways, related to the wooden pipe, I carved it with my little knife. For the hole, I intended on using a coal by blowing on it, but I ended up using a drill that someone had on the camp. How could I have done that hole without the drill? Any better techniques?
Also, I never varnished the pipe. Could it be harmful to my health to smoke from it in that state? I have been using it for a few months now.
