I have been trying to make a pipe from different woods one of the woof that i will use is mango wood and i want to be sure that won't inhale toxic smoke from the pipes

There is a file on toxicily of woods, old age is hitting me this morning, goggle this and you should find what you are looking for.

I dont know about toxicity but when you read about using mango wood for furnature it states that one of the negatives is that it can easily dry and crack with heat. Sounds like not a great solution for a pipe. I could certainly be wrong.

Mango is in the poison ivy family and contains the same irritants, though in lesser amounts. Although I like pipes of unusual woods—I’m smoking a maple mm right now—I’d hesitate before smoking a mango pipe

Not for me, brother.

Mango is rated as an irritant. I’d stay away!

I pop in once in a while. When I signed up, I thought I would have all kinds of pithy things to say. Then I found out I had no clue what to say...
