Pipe makers [[Todd Johnson]] and [[Prevost Pipes|Pete Prevost]] began work in 2012 to change the perception of what serially produced pipe manufacturing could be. That project evolved and grew and in 2013, BriarWorks began operations in Nashville, TN. Through hard work, ingenuity, and tenacity BriarWorks is producing some of the finest pipes ever made in a serial production environment. Providing customers with an enjoyable experience via a beautiful, high quality product, at an affordable price, is the primary goal at BriarWorks. | |||
Leveraging a wealth of handmade pipe making and design experience, BriarWorks is establishing a new bar for quality in the pipe industry. | Leveraging a wealth of handmade pipe making and design experience, BriarWorks is establishing a new bar for quality in the pipe industry. | ||
== BriarWorks Brands == | |||
Modern technology and design meet old world craftsmanship with the BriarWorks brands of pipes. BriarWorks Classic, BriarWorks Bambino, and BriarWorks Signature lines all start as machine made pieces that are assembled and hand finished by a talented team of pipe finishers, with many years of pipe making experience between them. BriarWorks Handmades are one of kind, hand made shapes with hand cut mouthpieces. | |||
=== Classic === | |||
The BriarWorks Classic line is inspired by the the shapes of the venerated pipe factories of the early to mid 20th century. Simpler shapes, a lower price point, and the same high level of detail and hand finishing that go into all BriarWorks pipes make these a popular choice with novice and experienced pipe smokers, alike. | |||

The BriarWorks Signature line are serially produced/factory made pipes modeled after the signature handmade shapes from some of the world's most respected pipe makers. The first BriarWorks Signature, the Todd M. Johnson briar calabash, set a new bar for the creative possibilities available in a serial production/factory setting. Throughout 2015, the Signature line was expanded with a new and improved Mag-Top calabash and a number of other shapes designed by Todd. Spring 2016 brought another milestone to the brand with a shape designed by a pipe maker not associated with BriarWorks, the Adam Davidson Fig. Plans for more shapes and collaborations with noted pipe makers are in the works as BriarWorks continues to strive to make the best serially produced pipes in the world. | |||
