'''Josef Prammer''' is a skilled toolmaker and a passionate pipe smoker. Born in 1953, he started carving pipes in 1993. What started as a hobby soon became a second profession. He makes about 250 pipes a year. Additionally, he carries out repairs for Austrian specialist shops. | |||
He creates tobacco pipes from briar and, as a real rarity, also from fossilized oak ([[Morta]]). His pipes are unique because they are carved exclusively by hand. One of the remarkable features of his pipes is the particularly careful workmanship. | |||
'''Briar:''' Josef's briar pipes are carved exclusively from high quality wood obtained from the high plains in Calabria. The form of the pipe is dictated by the wood grain. | |||
'''Bog Oak(Morta):''' This oak wood has lain for several thousand years in a swamp. Due to a lack of oxygen the wood was unable to rot, therefore it got this attractive natural black colour. The high silicate enhances the smoking qualities. Morta is a rare material and can only be discovered during archeological excavations. It is a very delicate material and can crack when dried. Sometimes only fragments can be used for carving. The fossilized wood he obtains from local archeological sites. | |||
'''Morta & Briar Combined:''' These pipes are fascinating because of their exceptional combination of morta oak and briar, silver or other materials. For these kinds of pipes he uses Morta with less silicate. | |||
