    The 'DEN' is only half of it.. The other half of the pipe says 'ETHEL' Ethel Den ..? It's scratched into the surface. Not sure if it's a name or has other meaning.

    Honestly, I'm not a smoker. I was bored one afternoon, saw a piece of wood and this is what came of it. I found the site and figured I'd post it and see what the comments would be to it.. These are my 1st and 2nd attempts

    Wood choices?

    By all means, I would never put something out there that could cause someone harm. Like it was said earlier, that was made more for a mantle piece. My brother took it on his own to smoke it once, he enjoyed it and now it's back on the rack for the next foreseeable future. Again, I...
