Very nice pipes gypski. Do you use power tools or hand tools for the shaping?

I'd stay a way from vegetable oil for a finish, it can go rancid and get smelly.
Plain old mineral oil would probably be better choice. Its use as a food safe finish on woodworking projects.

I love it when i come across these 'maker' threds. It's cool to see people makin there own stuff. being a woodworker and general maker of things, I appreciate the craftsmanship in hand made items. A lot of time patients and skill went into making those very cool pipes. Nice job.
