I've been smoking pipes for about 25 years, and I've decided I'd like to make one for myself. I've been watching YouTube tutorials and I think I'm going to make mine the traditional way, with just hand tools, a rasp, and patience. One question maybe folks here can answer, I saw one guy using tung oil on his pipe, but I have some concerns about breathing that stuff and how it would react to heat and moisture. Typically pipe-makers use carnauba wax or occasionally beeswax. Is using tung oil safe?
I'm interested. Bump

Tung oil is food safe.
I would argue it a lot safe to inhale then tobacco.
