" . . . blackwood or ebony . . . "? I may live in California, but
my genes are still Scottish! I work everything in maple until I'm
absolutely sure of the dimensions, and only then does the expensive
wood come out!
BTW, I don't know of the availability of maple where you are, but
it is just fine for pipemaking in terms of tone and workability.

Looks like you have a D and F set. It's the new style Drill and Fill
so common when a good reed is found for a crappy chanter. A mixture
of powdered blackwood or ebony with super glue works wonders after
filing then wet+dry then finnish off with a green scouring pad (nick
the one from the kitchen sink) glue remover will free your hands
from the chanter when finnished, have fun! Malcolm.-- CalecM wrote :
I have just renamed the pipes I'm making. Only one drone, drone

chanter of different wood, chanter holes clearly moved by filling
and
re-drilling. May never be done. Only one thing they could be
called:
"Scottish half-dones"
