I made a olive wood pipe with a 7 mm thick wall and a rather wide chamber 2,4 cm http://www.tobaccotaste.com/index.php?topic=203.0 .It is now for the second year in frequent use by a friend and there is no sign of any burnout o change of the grain color.Thou you have to brake in such a pipe properly and of course you must know the different grades of quality in olive wood and how to use them.
