Gents,
Just finished my first bowl on a new old stock kaywoodie and noticed a slightly chipped area in the chamber walls.
The pipe smoked cool, no weird taste, nothing, nada.
It’s not deep, but you can feel with the finger or nail. Doesn’t feel like a hole for sure, just a slight roughness.
It’s kind of white/grey because I wiped the bowl with a paper towel, before that it was black like the rest of the chamber. Bowl came without any coating.
I know there’s plenty of wood there, but is this a thing to be worried about?
I believe this is not from just 1 bowl, which smoked cool and dry.
Maybe came out of the factory like this? Carving defect?
I’d appreciate some input.
