Classic Billiard Tobacco Pipe
When designing this pipe I wanted to produce a Classic shaped billiard with sleek lines tapering from the shank/bowl transition all the way to the button of the stem. The stem I handcut from black German ebonite and gave it a wonderfully crafted thinness and comfortable bit for clenching. Lightweight and with a decent sized bowl this pipe is balanced perfectly with an incredibly smooth controlled draw that you will absolutley love! This pipe will make a suitable gift for the discerning gentleman that is bound to bring endless smiles and years of smoking pleasure!

Bamboo Tobacco Pipe
My intention when designing this fine tobacco pipe was to create a cool smoking pipe first of all. I used a parabolic shape tobacco chamber to allow thicker bowl walls for a cooler handling pipe, and allow the desired shape I was going after. I left the bamboo as natural looking as possible, yet cleaned up the nodules and used black epoxy for some neat looking accents to compliment the ebonite stem and spacers. This gorgeous briar wood has no pits and was a joy to bring to it's full potential. I picture the new owner of this pipe to be suprised with wonder as they smoke their favorite blend by the fireside!
