Polished Beechwood and Briarwood Smoking Pipe with Cap

This smoking pipe was handcrafted using vintage Italian Briarwood in the bowl and mouthpiece. The centerpiece is hand turned Beechwood. Beech (Fagus) is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The cap is inlayed with Wenge, an African hardwood, that is a lustrous black with brown grain.

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:

1. Length: 6.0 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.
