You make the prettiest water pipes! <3

Daw! Thank you!

If you like this one you'll really like the big one I'm working on.

Is it a secret? I crave details!

Mine is so boring. The only upside is that it looks hilariously like a dog phallus (I guess that only occurs to furries) so I bought it to enjoy ironically.

LOL FURRIES.

It's a biggin'. At lest 2 feet. I'm making a little clay figure to hold the stem up since it's somewhat lacking in the knot(LOLKNOT) needed for a good downward pointing stem.

I was thinking a dragon. Everyone loves dragons.

ohgod dragons yes

make it! :D I anxiously await pictures

Ok! :3cccc

I like the idea of a bamboo made bowl. I always burn my hand on the fucking glass ones. :c

Actually the bowl's pine. I didn't have a thick enough piece to make a bamboo one. <:3c

The pine's nice. It's defiantly easier to carve then the other hardwoods I have, but my concern is it's going to burn very easily and quickly after only a few uses as compared to oak or maple.

Ahhh. I see. :0

Have you thought about lacquering it? It might make it burn less.

If I do that it may burst into flames. :I

Oh. :c

It's a bad ideal to put hazardous chemicals on something that's going to be lit on fire. You got to be careful what you cover the bowl with as it's something that's going to go into the user lungs.

Wood's Ok. Pine is not the best. Hardwoods would last longer and be more heat resistant. It's just wood can be hard to clean, unlike glass.

The other alternative is soapstone but it gets just as hot as glass, however much easier to clean.
I also have clay, but I have to go out of town to fire it. When it's glazed and fired it's must the same as glass.

Yeah. I didn't know that since my friend Cory's the only one who owns that stuff in our group.

Ya, I'm sure there's no real way of not burning your fingers. I hardly use water pipes when I do smoke. :0

DO PENGUINS HAVE KNEES?!?!?

YES THEY DO!

Also, I know why men have nipples.

I see Harry Potter books.

Also, if the bowl ever burns, it sure will smell good! I love the scent of a pine log on the fire |D

Well you wont hear me argue that. It smells fantastic when I carve it too.

I'll tell you what don't smell fantastic tho, is that bone and clam shell. Sweet god.

I went outside for Just a moment to carve a clasp for a necklace. It was only about the size of your thumb nail. I stank like burning hair for the rest of the day.

I've drilled mussel shells before for chimes and mobiles, I can relate :x I ended up setting up a little ghetto exhaust fan system in my garage to finish all of the shells, and bound my hair up in a bandanna to try to keep it fresh (ugh, how hair absorbs smells that well, I will never know).

That's one of the major reasons I don't like carving as much in the winter. We have a heater out there, but it's still too cold to aim a fan on my like I need to.

I've just come to the understanding no matter what I do I will stink after working out there. Just have to make sure you head straight for the shower after you're done of you'll stink up everything you touch or sit on.
I've tried many methods short of going out there nude. There is no way to keep that smell off you.
