Carving Wooden Spoon

Anyone think it is practical to carve wooden bowls, I was thinking of following a guide to making a wooden spoon, and then drilling out the handle!

 

A carved spoon is typicaly shallow with a wide opening. A pipe bowl is more like a cilyndar (sp.). If the bowl is a wide cone (like a spoon) the herb on the top at the outer rim gets bypassed. When I make pipes, I use a Forsner bit. 5/8" to 1" is about the right diameter.

Just my thoughts, give the other way a try and report back, please.

 

Done it many times, no guide needed, pretty self explanitory.

 

make a chalice, theyr awsome, heads april 05 issue tells how.

 

someone on this forums made a hobby out of h\wood carving or something. i dont remember who though...
anyway he carved a wooden pipe.

using a cooking spoon though.. no go

 

I meant the general idea of making a cooking spoon, with a hallow handle(Yes the bowl would need some adjustments.)

 

i carve many wood pipes...it is one of my fav hobbies.
i started making em before i even started smoking
it takes alotta work if you want em to look good and work good...but its fun

i find i concentrate better on the workmanship if im high while carving em'...but thats just me

 

What wood do you use? or would you advise is the best to use for making pipes?

 

somthing soft enough to carve and somthing that doesnt burn easy. i dont know exact types of wood...i always use oak or maple or somthing.

but dont use treated wood or anything that you get from a store. i would bet that natural untreated wood is safer to smoke from

 

^ I would guarantee it, treated wood is hazardous to your health

 

you.. WOOD guarantee it?
harharhar

anywya um yeh it was willy who made the pipes, i wasnt sure so i didnt want to get it wrong the first time
