I was told by another pipe maker from Hawaii that the resins from the wood is not very healthy and that he wouldn't recommend making a pipe out of it.

And yes Koa wood is very exspenssive.

Thanks Jaden,
I made a couple out Koa but don't plan on smoking them. Not now for sure. Am out of Briar so I just use what I had on hand.

Yo! I'm new to this forum (being directed here by Love Geiger and Trever Talbert), and saw this.

I suggest going to www.windsorplywood.com (a Canadian company) for wood details. Here's the link to the exotic woods info:
