This is a pipe I wanted to make for a time. Peter Matzhold made a pipe with this shape and displayed it on his homepage. As I saw this pipe I knew I have to buy it or if I couldn't afford it I have to try carving a pipe like that for myself.

Now after more than a year waiting for a piece of Briar to show up I was successfull. Peter showed me the Block and my eyes started to glow :-) I wasn't able to see the original pipe but I had every detail in my brain. I often studied the lines and of it and then I begun to carve.

The Briar is fantastic - stunning - oooh.. what a piece !!

The shape is not easy to make and it took me VERY long to get throug of it and to finish. I asked Peter to use his stain, polishing and Carnauba to finish this pipe.
