Piping...

I think I might be starting to run out of skateboard wood.

I was slightly complicit in the destruction of J's last pipe. A combination of a rather brill birthday party, engaging conversation and alcohol fuelling. That said, I don't think he was bothered, he'd replaced it and I don't really need an excuse to find an extra wee skate wood project.

It is a bit experimental and had a few caveats. The layers are held together with wood glue which I have no idea how it will react with combustible material in the bowl. Reading up on wooden pipes, there is a treatment known as carbonisation which is essentially burning the inside to a crisp to create a blackened layer inside that won't burn any more when used. We left it naked to let normal usage dictate how it turns out.
