[QUOTE="RAlden, post: 382067, member: 2504"] Yes Cart, that was my point. I included Olive in my own list of pipemaking woods, so thats not even an argument from me Pete. You can make a pipe from any wood you like, but for every 100 congowood pipes, how many will make it through a lifetime without an issue ? Thats the reason why the list is so short. Most wood is just not up to the task. I used to really want a Ropp "Supreme". It's a really neat shape that has a diamond shank and looks more like a traditional briar than most cherry pipes. Problem was, I couldn't find a single one that didn't have a crack in it! So that's not saying you can't make a pipe from cherry wood, they sure made millions of them, but that's also not saying that cherry is particularly suited to the task. [/QUOTE]
