Be Easier just to pass you a bowl ( great introduction, no words needed ) . So I was screwing around in my messy work shop. Really its terrible ........... Sawdust flying every where making 12 slot billet rings . I know, some of you guys are saying WTF is a 12 slot billet ring . Fluting a piece of Purple heart wood which is its natural wood color. Inlaying dyed green maple Veneers Then I cut fluted dowel into rings or spacers . And this is what these little spacers look like used in a pipe ... I don't know about guys but I like the looks of wood but hate the way it tastes . That's why all my pipes are lined . That's It I am out of words
