Sawing
I try to do a little more sawing of the block before the drilling
begins, since it may reveal hidden flaws in the wood and it's better to
see them now so that the block can be discarded than waste the time of
drilling only to have to throw the pipe out later.
Once the block has been cut closer to shape, I inspect it again with a
magnifying lens to see if there are any flaws visible, especially any
splits which might run deeper into the wood and make the pipe
unsmokable.
