Wooden bowl dilemma

[TormentedImp]

and what IS the right type of wood?

In response to the water comment- DO NOT SOAK YOUR WOODEN PIPE IN HOT WATER!
My pipe swelled and the hinge got messed so bad i couldnt open it back up for days.
I would recommend using a wet paperclip and twisting it around like friendoftheend said.
This is the safest method in terms of keeping your pipe clean .ipe:

If you have access to a air compressor you could blow it out. Have you tried pipe cleaners?

[one.stoned.wookie]

find a drill bit to match the hole of your pipe and use that....it will clean it out perfect every time..

Air compressor or those pipe cleaners you used to play with in like kindergarten.

I've got a lovely piece I got about a year ago- it's wooden, and it's got a hinge piece on the top of the bowl, which is great to pack, cover, and take on the go. It's been used quite frequently, and it's now gotten much harder to hit because it's so clogged. Unfortunately, the way the pipe is designed, I am unable to manually scrape anything but the bowl, which hasn't yielded any results yet.

I was thinking isopropyl and salt, but since my bowl has colored wood, would that damage the coloring? Could I simply put the mixture into the bowl portion withough resorting to soaking the entire piece?

Here's a diagram of my piece:

I guess you have never heard of "pipe cleaners"....those furry wire things that are made for that exact purpose.

Use a small drill bit to clear it, then clean it.
