JS Pipes

From Joel's Website, http://www.jspipes.com

Let me introduce myself. My name is Joel Shapiro, and I live in Rancho Cordova, California. I've started making pipes in March of 2005 and found that I really enjoy it. As a result, I've decided to offer a limited number of handmade briar pipes for sale. Generally, I tend toward freehand shapes, some of which may be similar to established shapes.

The type of briar (Grecian, Italian, etc.) will be noted for each pipe made, along with further details concerning stem type (vulcanite, lucite, cumberland, etc.) and shank extensions. A complete size description will be included with each pipe posted for sale.

I do not fill any flaws in the briar, so the buyer will see exactly what is offered with nothing to hide. All pipes are finished with a buffed in coat of carnauba wax over the stain. Stains are all alcohol based and will not seal the wood, so won't alter the smoking experience or the breathing qualities of the briar.
