Briarwood Smoking Pipe with a Purpleheart and Red Padauk Center

The artisan's goal in crafting this smoking pipe was to create a unique conversation piece that also allows for a contaminant free, smooth drawing smoke. The design is based on using the number one wood for smoking, Briarwood, and integrating a heavy duty Pyrex glass core in the draft.

This smoking pipe was handcrafted using vintage Italian Briarwood in the bowl and mouthpiece. The main part of the centerpiece, and inlayed in to the cap, is Peltogyne, commonly known as Purpleheart, a species native to Mexico, Central and South America.. Also part of the centerpiece is red Padauk, native to central and tropical west Africa, and the always classic Walnut. This is touched off by a just a small section of aromatic red cedar.

The pipe's dimensions are:

1. Length: 6.5 inches
2. Bowl Height: 1.5 inches

As with any art that contains glass, even the heavy duty, thick walled, borosilicate Pyrex that we use, should be treated with caution and care. For more information on caring for this creation, click here.
