First hacks at a more European-style pipe, I'm going to thin out the stem and then drill all the holes required, maybe steam the stem to bend it a little more. I'm still deciding whether or not to finish it or just let the wood breathe, the wood is an ivory white that really shines through when you sand it down and keep it clean, unless someone knows any wood finish that doesn't leave a shine and leaves the color unchanged.
I'm also collecting more decorative woods in the forests around Hunstville and playing with natural dyes (greenbriar berries, dewberries, piss, charocal), I didn't know until yesterday that Red Cedar makes great cabinetry and apparently wards off termites and moths because of the oil it contains, it also has a very distinct grain and contrasting coloring and theres large trees fucking everywhere. I might be offline for a while until the weekend because I can finally make it back to the National Forest with my first paycheck and can start working on my home(s).
