pauldavis Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 So i took a trip up to Sterling this weekend and visited the Mya Saray store and got a hookah and he threw in two free 50g boxes of Al Ajamay, grape and two apple...haven't smoked these yet, but will review when I do. But now for pics of the hookah. I took a trip to the woodcraft store and the guy there turned me a new stem piece for free, since he was already doing pen turning demos. Heres what it looks like now.

LUXOR HOOKAHS Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 PD: Looks great!!!!! What kind of wood did you use? Did you by any chance show the people at MYA this customization? I have found that they are very receptive to any suggestion on changes that will enhance their hookahs. A one off like this is time consuming and probably expensive. If MYA had these made in China in bulk, I bet the cost would be minimal. If you do make some more of these by yourself on a lathe, please post pics of your set up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Wow!!!! That rocks Paul! I am curious as to what wood it is as well. That was really nice of the guy to turn those pieces for you! I am very envious!!! Congrats bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The Al Ajmay 2 apple is one of the nicest I've tried. A REALLY nice ballance between the apple and the anise. And I'm NOT much of an Anise fan... Oh, Nice hookah too btw... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauldavis Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 well the lathe will wait, i need to take out a loan, and i will be starting a site that has a selection of woods for MYA stems (maybe i will sell the stems too) in a different variety of woods and patterns....kinda like those face plates for your cell phone, but for a hookah, different woods for different settings! but do not get too excited, this will be a while before i get this off the ground and i used marble wood, the cheapest i could find since i was not too sure how it would work out. and i told the guy at MYA what i was going to do and he seemed happy that there are people taking creative liberties with their hookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 @ pauldavis: ohh, you have a bag of guinea pig food behind it.. that is the exact same kind I always bought for my babygirl. I miss my girl. She always loved that food but of course not nearly as much as she was obsessed with romain lettuce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
