mike,
the pipes digest web site offers the groups "resource guide" .... there is
a section on pipemaking/repair suppliers ...... try pimo-stemco for about
anything you could need, including a pre-drilled stem-fitted "kit" to get
started.. mark tinksy of american smoking pipe sells pre-drilled block
stem-fitted kits too and raw briar, but not the extensive line of tools
and supplies pimo offers.
