Hi all! New guy here and I just wanted to show off my new wooden pipe. Just finished it today and figured I'd start off my account by sharing my new piece. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Happy toking!
I got a block of basswood from the Michaels near me for around $5. I think it was 10" long or so. A block makes it much easier to drill the holes too!
I just drilled the hole at an angle, used my x-acto knives to carve out a little extra room because it was a little small, and sanded it all down. Did the normal thing with honey and water to treat the bowl and just popped a screen in there. It works pretty well. The first couple hits off it were a little harsh and woody but my newbie buddy was even fine the second sesh so I guess it's not terrible.
Here are some more pictures, tried to get some different angles in there. Also, most are without the screen. Ask me any other questions you have.
Carb holes are really for pieces with larger volumes, like glass pipes that have open interiors. This is probably just a small drilled hole leading to the bowl... It would be like having a carb on a chillum. Most small, non glass pipes I have seen don't have carbs.
[quote name='"bakedasacookie"'] I also make pipes and sometimes I smoke out of this!![/quote] Da fuck? EDIT: are you a troll? Please don't smoke out of that
Glass is class imo Looks sick though, I had a bubbler with a wooden mouth piece once, the wood taste goes away once it's used a bit. Nice work!
