I made this wooden pipe with my friend one night and it works just as well as a normal one. As long as the pipe is made from untreated hardwood it should add no negative effects to smoking weed. The only thing about wooden pipes is that they stain more and are harder to clean, and in the case of the sherlock holmes pipe you showed it might be kind of hard to light your hits because of how deep the bowl is. I'd really recommend carving your own pipe though, since its effective, easy, durable, and very gratifying to be smoking out of your own creation.

That pipe looks really cool. Does it heat up very quickly, or can it go several quick hits before getting to hot to hold? natural stuff man. Also pictures are fun while you're high -

Deer antler. Would you guys be interested in seeing my collection?

Yes.

Hookah's the big green guy, the bong's to the left, the candy cane one is a bubbler, the one on the right is a little hack job, it's missing a downstem but I threw a bowl on it I made lol. To the right is stems and seeds, in front of that is a RooR downstem and a really nice glass jointed bowl. The brown glass bowl is kind of an ugly bastard, but it hits like a champ. Orange container is my weed wrapped in plastic, and that blue thing on the left is a stand for one of those ugly pewter dragon statues turned into a bong. Whee drug paraphernelia. That's most of it, anyway.

This was my baby.

I only needed to light this once to get myself through a bowl. Take a huge hit, hold it a few seconds, blow out through my nose, repeat.

You jelly?

Howd you make that deer antler pipe without splintering it? I have some bone, so i guess thats a slightly different substance, but I cant seem to carve it smoothly or without cracking off little pieces.

Oh and YHTFLKC, the pipe doesn't really heat up at all, the wood's very good at dissipating the heat. You can make one really easy by making the stem and bowl separately, and then fitting the stem so that its slightly larger than the hole where it connects to the bowl. Then sand it down until it fits snugly into the bowl and takes a sharp tug to jerk out. At this size it should be completely airtight and durable, but easily disasemblable whenever you want to clean out the pipe. Just make sure to use fine grain wood or else it will not fit as well and it wont feel nearly as nice between the lips.

I know it'll vary somewhat, but what's a good guideline for the time required to go and get high, and then for it to come down to sobriety again? I've heard 4 or so hours, which is limiting, because it's hard to be unaccountable for that length of time.

HOLY ♥♥♥♥
that is the most badass homemade piece I have ever seen.
It looks to me that the sides are plastic or clear acrylic plates? How did you make it airtight/ stick it together - it looks like you used glue and tape? Or did you somehow fuse it? I am in awe of you for getting that to be airtight.

Personally i prefer steel to wood. You can turn it in a lathe and put holes in it. To very exact sizes. Or even tap/die it. And if it isn't airtight you can just weld it.

An Acrylic sheet from Lowes and a little bit of hot glue work wonders.

I always preferred working with metal over plastic, easier to clean and you can still get all the ♥♥♥♥ you need at a hardware store. Dishwash the ♥♥♥♥♥ and call it done.

I've had experience working with metal, and I just don't like it.
Acrylic is so much easier to work with in my opinion. Plus, you get to see everything going on inside it.

Meh, iron and fire are my thing. You're just mad because you don't have my mad blacksmithing skills! Work that hot glue gun bby

pound that metal all you want I shape it into beautiful things with my oxy-acetylene welder.
Molten puddles of metal are fun to look at when your baked (probably dangerous too).

The sad part is, it's about the size of my thumbnail.
