Chillum

This was another custom piece i tried to replicate for a friend. He knows more about the history of it than i do. I guess this is the style of chillum monks would use. This style has a stone inserted into a hollow tube that works as a screen. I faceted a piece of glass on 8 sides for my stone. The original ceramic chillum has a 6 sided stone. Having the 6-8 holes ensures a nice draw while smoking. This design is really nice for cleaning. The stone comes out, and you can run tons of water through it. The monks would run a piece of cloth attached to their robe with a knot through it.

I spent a lot of time trying to make the walls of this chillum very thick. It would have been 4 times larger if i would have went with my normal wall thickness.

Thanks for looking!!
