I just suck at drawing and it would prolly look retarded but i could always sand off the paint.

why do everything, that everyone else does? i think it's just fine like it is..i see no reason to paint it....it shouldn't be about the visualization....it should be about the hard work you put into it, and the personality it has because you put your work and sweat into it...instead of a machine..just my 2 cents.

That's a really good homemade. Personally, I'd be apprehensive to paint it as I might make a fatal mistake and ruin the piece. I would leave it as-is, as it's an impressive piece. Nice work.

So the wood isn't harmful to smoke out of?

as long as u get untreated wood. if u use wood thats been treated theres a bunh of shit in it, and rite off the top of my head i can only think of arsenic as being the most harmful to u.

Hmm how can you tell if it treated or untreated by just pulling out a 2x4 from your garage.

hahaha

kinda hard to explain....but think about it this way...picture some shitty 2 x 4 in your head, that's still really rough, and you can see alot of imperfections....might even be warped or bowed.... treated won't be that way...treated will probably be darker, be a hell of a lot more smooth, and there will be little or no imperfections in the wood. it's just kinda something you have to know....if they're brand new (or haven't been mesed with really) it should stil have a tag at one end stapled there about half the size of a credit card that would say whether it's treated or not....being able to tell the diffrence is kinda something you jus thave to know, i don't think there is any fail safe way to tell if it's treated or not....

dude make me one ill buy it

thats a hell of a small bowl. but yah, why would you want to paint it so bad... you smoke out of it, plain and simple, no need to possibly fuck it up ;) because if your drawing sucks, your gonna look like a dumbass pulling that shit outta your pocket to toke
