Pipe cover

[anester05]

I want to make a cover for my pipe so I do not put smudges on the meerschaum. Here is the pipe I own

Any Ideas? I want to do this so the pipe ages well if I handle it to much then my fingers will make smudge marks and when It turns color it will be blotchy.

IMHO a couple of turk's head style braids would look nice and wouldn't interfere with the look of the pipe too much either...

A piece of very stretchy leather, wet molded & then sewn when dry would work. I don't know if it would stain the meerschaum in the wet state, though. If you can find a pipe in the exact shape & dimension, you could mold on that, then transfer when dry & sew up.

I was thinking in that direction I'm thinking I can wrap it in plastic to mold around it. When it dry remove the leather an the plastic wrap put the leather back and sew it together. Now I need to figure out how to do the edges. hmmmmm

I have never done a turks head before would it be easy to do? Well maybe not easy but doable?
