So, I've been smoking pipes for 20 years and I've decided

Interesting being worried about a little bit of chemical vapor relative to purposefully inhaling toxic pipe tobacco vapor for 20 years isn't it?

(1) You don't inhale a pipe. You smoke for flavour and absorb the nicotine through your bucal membranes.

(2) According to the NIH, moderate pipe smokers who don't inhale actually have a LOWER chance of early death than strict non-smokers. 20% lower to be exact.

If you're worried about toxins use olive oil and finish with bee was. Personally I'd go with boiled linseed.

Some people have said that olive oil will go rancid, especially with the kind of exposure to heat a pipe gets. Any reason you'd go with linseed over tung oil?

How about building your own vaporizer that resembles a pipe, maybe a replica of the one seen in this masterpiece?

Because I enjoy smoking a pipe?

I have more experience with linseed, and it would remind me of milsurp.

I've been smoking a pipe for 6 months now and have had this very idea. I'm greatly enjoying it and I want to craft my own. Intently watching this thread.

If i could make a a lord of the rings style churchwarden pipe i would pick up pipe smoking.

A churchwarden is no more difficult to make than any other pipe. You can buy a vulcanite stem of any shape or length you want off a site like smokingpipes.com, which is the hard part of making a churchwarden. Even if the specific shape you're looking for isn't available, it's simple to just boil the stem until it's soft and then bend it into any shape you want.
