'''About Will's Pipes''' | |||
My briar is aged a minimum of 5 years, acquired from a dear friend in Italy . My stems are | |||
always hand cut from German ebonite rod I purchase from Tom and Pia Eltang. I use Black as | |||
well as Cumberland rod for my stems. Smooth pipes began shipping in 2004, and sandblasts | |||
will be available in 2007. | |||
I craft some pipes in standard shapes from the French, British, and Scandinavian schools, | |||
but strive to bring something different to each one. Unique pieces also come along. I base the | |||
shape of each pipe on the grain of its briar block, so each pipe will be a bit different. | |||
Your pipe may be drilled with round, conical, or a tapered tobacco chamber, depending on its shape. | |||
Special orders are not accepted, but I will maintain a wish list. So, if you see a pipe in the gallery | |||
that you want, please drop me a line and I will contact you when the next similar pipe is available, | |||
in order of requests received. | |||
I insist you are happy with your pipe when it arrives. I try to do the best job possible through | |||
photographs and dimensional description to give you an accurate look at the pipe you purchase. | |||
However, if it arrives and it doesn’t meet your expectations for ANY reason, I want it back | |||
before you smoke it. I will even refund the shipping charges. | |||
