Default does anyone know??

does anyone know what type of glaze is used on bamboo water-pipes or are they unglazed and just the outside is polished?

I don't know about you but i wouldn't smoke out of bamboo unless the bowl was glass or metal and it was away from the bamboo. As far as glaze/polish goes i think they are just polished though...

I've smoked out of a wooden bowl in a bamboo bong I made, it worked fine.
I would be sure to avoid burning any kind of glaze or polish of course, this was straight bamboo from the tree I used.

As for what's on it, I'm sure its some form of staining and waterproof coating, maybe some polish

I've seen them plain/polished, shellaced, and varnished. The shellaced one was a POS - water left spots on it.

Why? People have been smoking out of bamboo pipes for centuries without any problems. It's no different than smoking any other kind of wooden pipe. I have a bamboo churchwarden with a briar bowl that's one of my favorites. The long stem really cools the smoke.

That's SO true Buzzby! I've been looking for a nice wooden bowl with a long stem...it really does work wonders to mellow it out!

Back to bamboo. We had a friend years ago with a bamboo bong...that had a nice bamboo bowl, that, when pushed nicely into the side of it, looked simply like a stem stickin' out the side! We LOVED smoking out of that, and it always gave a smooth hit. And not once did we get bamboo poisoning!
