Briarwood Smoking Pipe with a Red Center and Inlayed Cap
This smoking pipe was handcrafted using vintage Italian Briarwood in the bowl and mouthpiece. The centerpiece, and inlayed in to the cap, is hand turned Padauk, this wood, Pterocarpus soyauxii, also known as Vermillion, is a hardwood native to central and tropical west Africa.
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.
The pipe's dimensions are:
- Length: 6.0 inches
- 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.
