Jimbo your pipe might be primitive, but it works quite well. I am getting a nice burn on the inside for the screen to hold. Screen material used to be a heavier gauge. Now I have to contend with wimpy precut brass screening. I light the bud, suck up some smoke. It is a cool smoke for sure. Like a bong without the rum. The bowl stays cool. A couple friends said they want one. Get to whittling.
