alright guys, i've got a custom glass blown bong that i've had for ages. but the other day, my downstem broke. now this downstem hole is not any normal size, it's just over 3/8 of an inch in diameter. i've checked online, local headshops, an couldn't find a correctly fitting downstem. so i went over to my buddy's this morning an made one in his woodshop. pictures below. my question is, will the wood rot? i won't have water in there all the time, and it's currently not clear coated. the small dowel is the downstem, and the thicker one is the other piece i don't know. thanks guys.
Maybe it's me, but I don't think it's that's difficult to buy a new downstem. As far as what you made, I'm sure it would work, but I'd only use it until I got my new one if at all.

Seeing how thats the hottest part I would just get a glass one. Wood and heat don't seem like a good combination unless u want a fire
I love making home made smoking tools. How well does your bowl piece fit into this down stem? In my opinion I don't see the wood rot being an issues. If you start to notice things growing, discoloration, or notice it falling apart then just throw it away .

Seeing as how you have access to a woodshop, just make a new one whenever you feel like it. IMO the best part of home-made bongs and parts
