    Talking Question about Making A Pipe??

    I pick up this piece of Ceader from out in the yard, been out there for about 6 months now, and good and dry. My question, do I need to treat this with anything, or will it be good just like it is. I just don't want it to rot down the road, but don't know if being inside will keep it from doing that. I should know because My frame of my house is Ceader, and it hasn't rotten yet. lol So, should I treat or not? Thanks, hotshot

    I'd leave it be. Cedar is known for being rot resistant.

    Ok, thanks. I have finish the first one, took me two try's though. This Cedar has A big red spot in the center that is really soft. The outside is fairly hard though. For this reason, I will be using screens in the Cedar. Next I think I will Try an OAK, much harder wood and all the way through, not soft in the center like the Cedar is. Probably want's need screens for the oak.

    Burnishing wood give a good finish and probably make the grain pop out good for effect.
    You could also use any type of food grade oil but I'd go for a high temp one like peanut oil and then leave it to dry a good while before use you don't want the oil burning the cedar.
    I'd stay clear of any type of varnish/stain etc etc
    There's a very smart process which I've played with and you soak the wood in a salt solution and then pass a electric current through it burning the grain

    I'm not suggesting you take a microwave apart hotshot. I used my welding rig
