you need a good hard wood, maple, oak, shit like that... if it's a 'heavy' wood, it's more than likely safe/good idea to use it for pipe making.... soft/light woods aren't good to use, pine is one of the 'light' woods.. i can't remember alot about wood shop right now... just look for a 'hard' wood (that's how it's actually classified, so google 'hard wood' and you'll see what you could use, unless it shows a picture of dick, dont' try to turn your dick into a pipe...)
How about Cherry? I have a HUGE cherry tree in my back yard and no one would care if I cut off a decent sized branch.
i really couldnt tell you, but try this, get a hammer and hit the base of the tree REALLY hard. if it dents a lot, dont use it, if it doesnt really dent too much, go ahead and give it a try.goodluck
Don't do this,you could injure the tree and it could die as a result...Quote:

how about u take a chain saw and see how dull the chain gets while sawing it down, if it gets hell dull hella fast, then resharpen your chain and finish off the tree, if your saw gose threw it like butter, well, go and cut it into blocks off wood and sell it for 150 per cord.
maple works well, although ash is really nice, or my personal fav, BUBINGA.
