Black Walnut DIY Pipe

[Chris Smith]

I'm finishing this up tonight and tomorrow. Black Walnut with a stem my wife got for awhile back. Still learning though. Used beeswax as the outer coating as I love the look of natural black walnut. Feel free to let me know what you think and I'm always open to constructive criticism.

Thanks

Black Walnut has a good reputation. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Looking good too.

Nice job. I love me a good poker too. Tell us how she smokes.

Love black walnut. Such a nice wood to work with. Looks great. Wonder how it will do with the heat?

I was wondering the same thing as I’ve heard they can have issues with heat. I made it as a XL type pipe with thicker walls, but I think if I sip it it will do just fine. I’ll let you know once I smoke it a couple times if I see any issues developing.

Thanks!

Any update on how hot it gets?

Actually I've smoke it a few times and it doesn't get all that hot. I've tried a few different blends of nonaromatic and haven't had any issues. The walls are pretty thick so I think that helps a lot too.

Working on another black walnut pipe now. I just finished a cherry pipe yesterday.

Thanks,

Chris
