I want to make my own tobacco pipe but i only hace orange and peach wood at hand, some pine as well but i heard it could be toxic. I know briar or cherry is the way to go but is way too expensive where i leave so do you think orange tree wood could work?
I do not have a picture of mine I made, posted it long ago. But what I would suggest is going to a local mill and getting a 2x2x3 chunk of walnut. Cheap.
great thank you i will give it a shot

This, use close grained hardwood.
How is cherrywood expensive in your area?

If you plan on just making the pipe, go ahead. If you intend for someone to actually smoke it, go briar or cherry. Actually, if you want it to age well and have a nice taste when the pipe matures, go only briar.
If you never made one before, I recommend trying making a corncob one, so you can adjust the pipe's draft.
