This pipe has been carved out of reclaimed manzanita burl.
Measures 4 1/2" Long X 1" Wide X 1" Thick.
A 1/2" bowl @ 1/2" Deep that has been hand burned to burn off the natural wood resins for a clean and natural smoke.
The smoke hole is 1/8" for a slow smooth draw.
Manzanita is a tree that grows all around southern California and is so exotic it is protected by federal law and is illegal to cut it down without proper permission from either land owners or state and federal officials.
Manzanita burl, the wood root mass that the manzanita tree grows from, is even more dense than the tree itself and so it holds the heat well and is a great wood for crafting long lasting pipes out of it.
The back of the manzanita part of the pipe highlights the natural and organic wood bumps, knots and ripples that have been left in their natural live edge state the way the burl wood naturally grew. The rest of the burl part has been hand carved to reveal the natural deep red inner wood grain.
A handcarved custom deep earthy brown black walnut wood stem complements this piece against the deep red manzanita burl wood color.
Natural weatherd wood cracks and knots have been inlaid nicely with some high grade bright blue turquoise and deep green malachite stone to compliment the organic nature of the wood and to add more character.
Each and every stone, shard and chunk of turquoise and malachite have been mindfully and patiently inlaid one piece at a time.
Feels good and sits perfect in either right or left hand grip.
A smooth hand carved tapered smoking tip for comfort on the lips.
Each piece finished with an eco friendly penetrating oil sealed permanently into the wood for a long and happy life.
Sits flat when set down.
Signed by the artist.
Each pipe comes with stainless steel screens, a polishing cloth and a black velveteen cloth bag for safe keeping!
Polished to a smooth and glass like finish!
