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.
Tampers are
well known tools, used for tamping tobacco
while smoking. Sometimes I make batch of
tampers just for the fun of it, and sometimes
they come as a gift with some of my pipes.
Usually the pipe and the tamper are made
of the same material (for example if the
pipe is made of briar and has a ring made
of a deer antler, then the tamper will also
be made of briar and deer antler). I make
them freehanded and each of them is a unique
piece, just as my pipes are. They come in
all possible combinations, sizes and styles.
If a pipe has a tamper that goes with it,
then it is customary in the photo together
with the pipe.
