After carefully observing the unique characteristics of the briar block, predicting the traits beneath with experience and instincts, we begin to unravel the block into a pipe, with brains, with adroit hands, and with our hearts. We use simple tools, mostly medieval hand tools such as a small band saw, files in various specifications, and sand papers from 200 through 2000 grits, after drilling the chamber, mortise, and the dead-centered airway, with an old-fashioned lathe. We do not take mouthpieces lightly since we believe in that a good stem contributes at least half of a handmade pipe's entire value. Painstakingly while rewarding, a well made mouthpiece gradually comes into being, from a raw solid rod. For the ones that deserve to bear the Gloredo name, we combine briar and another devoted material, into a Taichi totem, which stands for Yin-yang, and further inlay the mosaic into the stem by hand. Finally, we finish the pipe with alcohol-based stains, natural dyes, and a combination of proprietary ingredients, then carnauba wax it, in bringing a new smoking beauty, with her own soul and characteristics, into life. | After carefully observing the unique characteristics of the briar block, predicting the traits beneath with experience and instincts, we begin to unravel the block into a pipe, with brains, with adroit hands, and with our hearts.
