'''Pedro Ferrizzo [http://www.laspipas.tk sculptural pipes]''' '''''Old style pipe carver'''''

Ferrizzo pipes are fully handmade. No machine is used to shape and to polish them, only a small hand-drill is employed to drill the smoke hole. The artist shapes the pipes only with a straight razor and sand-paper, polishing them with natural bee glue wax prepared by himself.

In spite of his European ancestors, Ferrizzo, living and searching the raw material for his pipes in such wild territories, feels the legacy of the American natives and, carving his pipes he feels their strength in the creative process. He enjoys watching a figure emerging from a piece of wood, a figure that is inspired by anthropology, the geography of this land and the grain of the wood itself.
