Coronilla is a strong, short and thorny tree (shrub).  It grows very slowly, hardly 2 mm a year (a 25 diameter branch is 125 year old) in the wild forest by the shore of rivers in Uruguay.
When the tide goes down, coronilla roots- a perfect raw material to shape pipes- appear.

Because of the way it ages, this type of root becomes perfect to make pipes. It ages slowly in open air and under the action of wheather and mineral elements of the river. It is perfect for the smoke, as it doesn’t burn nor warm up or crack.

The Coronilla (scutia buxifolia) is a stout, short and thorny tree. It is very common in the hills and riverside forest of Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Northern Argentina. It has a very slow growth rate, just 2 millimetres by year. Its wood is hard and heavy, very appreciated for firewood.

Coronilla roots ages slowly in open air and under the action of wheather and mineral elements of the river. They are unearthing when the riverbed is low and then used for wood-carving, especially pipe-carving. Because of the way it ages, coronilla wood is considered an ideal material for this issue: pipes made with coronilla lignite don’t burn, heat or crack.

The Coronilla (scutia buxifolia) is a stout, short and thorny tree. It is very common in the hills and riverside forest of Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Northern Argentina. It has a very slow growth rate, just 2 millimetres by year. Its wood is hard and heavy, very appreciated for firewood.

Coronilla roots ages slowly in open air and under the action of wheather and mineral elements of the river. They are unearthing when the riverbed is low and then used for wood-carving, especially pipe-carving. Because of the way it ages, coronilla wood is considered an ideal material for this issue: pipes made with coronilla lignite don’t burn, heat or crack.
