Abstract
A compact wooden smoking apparatus wherein the body of the apparatus has a constant peripheral contour in cross sections taken in any plane generally parallel to the body top and body bottom. A wooden blank for use in the manufacture of a plurality of compact wooden smoking apparatuses, the wooden blank having a constant peripheral contour in cross sections taken in any plane generally perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. A method for manufacturing a compact wooden smoking apparatus involving milling an elongate piece of wood into an elongate wooden blank imparting a constant peripheral contour in cross sections taken in any plane generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the piece of wood, and cutting lateral sections from the wooden blank to produce a plurality of smoking apparatus body sections.
