Thought I would try to make a pipe and wanted to combine my love for turkey hunting in the making of the pipe. I used a turkey wingbone as the stem and attached it to some osage orange. Thanks for looking

That looks very nice.
That didnt take you long !
The amazing thing is you made almost a carbon copy of a very old style of pipe. Trying to find a picture now, I believe its an asian or african pipe I'm thinking of.

I wasnt saying you copied anything, just thought it was interesting you sat down on your own, but ended up making a pipe thats so similar to a 300+ year old style of pipe.
I dont know how to finish Bois Darc, but I know some guys that have made pipes from it. It is safe to smoke for sure. I just finish my pipes by buffing with tripoli and carnauba wax.
Are both pieces of the stem made from turkey bone ?
