ABOUT MY PIPES...
My pipes are mostly made of briar. Although I don't use other materials as much, there
are several pipes made of bog oak (morta), olivewood, strawberry
tree, or some other wood in my collection. Most
of my pipes are smoothly finished with glossy shine
from carnauba wax. I use all kinds of exotic materials
for pipe decorations, mostly deer antlers, horns,
boxwood, karelian birch, cocobolo, bocote or some other type of
hardwood. Bamboo is also a great material, and
I use it often, when pipe design allows such
an intervention.
50 year old
pipes are a limited series, drilled
and roughly shaped over 50 years ago in
a famous Cellini pipe factory in Chicago.
The Cellini brand was known as Victory
Pipe Craftsmen Association (which was their
corporative name). The Cellini pipes were
sold exclusively in the shop in front of
the Cellini factory. Cellini pipes were
famous all over the world, and can still
be bought nowadays on the estate market
at fairly decent prices. Those pipes are
also very valuable to collectors. Store
and factory were closed in the late 80's,
shortly after the death of their founder
Elliot Silber, and what was left were thousands
of half finished stummels in many various
shapes. The small amount of those stummels
ended up in my workshop.
So, I do final drillings and shaping, sanding, staining, polishing.
I make stems for them and the final result is amazing! The wood
is beautifully dry and almost light red in colour, and they smoke
wonderfully sweet. It would be a real shame thet they go to waste,
after all - they are a part of history!
