The materials Keresaspa makes his pipes from are briar for the stummels and German ebonite for the stem. Sometimes he will use vintage Bakelite or natural Amber for the stem, if he is given the opportunity. In the past Keresaspa has worked with meerschaum and bog oak, but in recent years he has decided to focus on making briar pipes. He will often utilize shank extensions from various types of bamboo, or horn, and has a large collection of decorative materials that he will use as adornments. These include prehistoric fossils such as mammoth tooth or tusk, nacre, amber, horn, bone, exotic woods, and meteoroids. | The materials Keresaspa makes his pipes from are briar for the stummels and German ebonite for the stem.
