Couple questions

Couple questions

Do you prune? To promote growth or any other reason? Also wanted to know if there’s a way I can play with the younger leaves with drying anchoring to practice and get a better understanding of curing process. I know they aren’t at their full potential but I also smoke herb and would love some lower nicotine content leaves to roll in if possible. So any tips on curing/drying to get that in humid southern environments talk to me!

Lookin for pipestone/catlinite

Has anyone used black bear-haversack trading post? Got recommended them yesterday for blocks of stone and wanted to make sure. Or does anyone know where I can get it for that price? Everyone who works them into pipes is charging too much for my spending rn. Plus I like to learn all the skills we would’ve back in the day. I started messing with pottery/clay recently and had the idea to make a pipe end and naturally ended up here again.

Any tips too I’d love to hear em as far as working it. I hear it’s easy, I have a basic small round (3/8inch ish ) file and a metal wood chisel. Not sure what else I’d need but im intrigued and would love to learn it. Eventually will have my own stand at one of the fairs and website with all my craftin skills. Right now I just do trades and commissions, which if anyone wants some art and would trade a pre- worked piece and stem I’d love you lol.

What’s the info on this one? Caught it many times as a native to Louisiana on the Viking/norse tv shows. I have some theories but they could be totally wrong. My idea is the cross is a f u but a secret f u war strategy that was basically them saying “yeahh sure we’ll dance with your silly religion, but only cause we respect the violence your using to spread and force it!” “But we’re just gonna stretch out the top of the cross here a lil once you leave the village and show the world we lived to tell the tale and didn’t conform.”

Dont be a dick I’m being inquisitive here lol.

Looking to make a pipe end like the Lakota one but with clay if possible. Got the idea from the Moroccan end pieces for their version. I made one out of some white clay found on the same spot and having it drying while waiting for answers. Any tips!?
