Okay so I was walking in the woods when I had this marvelous idea to carve a pipe. A stick, a knife, a screw driver, drill bit attached to the screw driver and an hour gave me this I Was wondering if there is anything I could use to stain this or finish it (make it shiny) naturally so it would be safe. Thanks for the help in advance.
rub some honey or agave nectar on it, it will give it a nice shine and protect it. keep in mind this thing is gonna taste like shit the first few times you smoke it so i would get some tobacco and smoke a few bowls of that through it.. just until it builds up some carbon and doesnt scorch your throat.
^not smart. Rub some Olive oil on it, it will (i cant remember the exact word) make it so the wood wont burn and will have a shiny finish.
i honestly cant imagine any kind of stain or finish you could safely smoke after. fuck that. drop 10 bucks on a shitty glass piece from a gas station
