Finally got around to taking pictures of the jewelry box I made for my wife at Christmas. Itās from the last of the wood I built our dining room table out of. The interior is black walnut.

Question for you. Iām thinking about making a pipe with some aged apple wood branches. Itāll be a short pipe as I donāt have a long drill bit but Iām fairly sure I can do it. Your thoughts would be appreciated

Can you find a really long screw? If so, drill as far as you can, and then use the screw. Is apple wood very hard?

I really donāt know if itās considered a hard wood but I have found a couple of handcrafted applewood pipes online so Iām pretty sure I can make one. Depending on how you make it you drill 2-3 connecting bores then carve out the bowl. You want to keep the inside bore as smooth as possible so Iām iffy about using a long nail or screw. 
. Iām also wondering if someone else here has made handmade wooden pipes . Hmmm maybe @garrigan62

Can you make it so the stem is a separate piece? If so, you could select a small branch for that and drill from both ends. Then whittle it to fit to the bowl.
Apple is a hardwood. That said itās not VERY hard or dense. Briarwood for pipes is root burl for example.
Thatās what I would likely do if I were making one.

Are you in S. Australia? Hopefully not, looks like the folks there are getting some nasty fires, just like California recently. Stay safe!
Hang in there! Weāre all of us damaged here so we understand.

@Myfriendis410 Thanks for your input. I have had this wood for a few years as it was going to be a walking stick. I could make it multiple pieces but I kinda wanted to make it a one piece. Iām heading out soon but will try to find a pic of my idea later. Thanks again

Those Chopin nocturnes are beautiful and possess the power to evoke deep emotions. I love the way he always changed tempo and volume.
