What is Alligator Wood and if used to make a pipe will it make your face fall off if smoked?

Never mind! Found it to be Alligator Juniper. Some folks have been found to have allergic reactions and the worst is respiratory reactions so as nice as the spalted wood looks it would just be an exercise in making a unusable pipe.

Re: Alligator Wood
Only reference to Alligator Wood on Google is “Alligator Juniper”.
One site said “This wood is wonderfully fragrant with a cedar like aroma – burning or not! Medium hardness, good mixer. Alligator juniper is excellent in the fireplace or backyard fire pit with a cozy lively fire with crackle, pop and pleasant aroma.” Sounds way to oily to and soft to make a pipe.

Artisans never finish their work – they merely abandon it.
Ideally, they abandon it at that point, where they are not sure if change, will improve or diminish it.

Re: Alligator Wood
Yup! Pretty much what I read on Google as well. It looks great especially spalted. Would look awesome in a pipe rack but not healthy to smoke.jjpipes wrote:Only reference to Alligator Wood on Google is “Alligator Juniper”.
