Skip has been specializing in selling pipes since 1974 and feels he understands what people like about pipes.  This includes accurately shaped as well as correctly drilled pipes.  He has been making pipes since 1998  in the workshop behind his house in Maylene, Alabama using well aged briar from Greece.

The sanding process involves eight steps which are done by hand starting with a 80 grit for rough sanding and culminating with a 2000 grit.  The advantage of the 2000 grit is a superior finish that lasts long after the carnauba wax has melted away. 

The stems are usually made from acrylic material.  Some are hand cut while others are molded.  In all cases a Delrin tenon is used for flexibility and heat resistance.  The air hole through the stem is tapered for better flow and less moisture. 

Skip operates The Briary full time and supplements his business by producing these pipes.  As you might expect there is not a lot of time for pipe making so production is very low.  Contact The Briary 1-877-3-BRIARY for further information or email us at thebriary@msn.com.  Directions to The Briary.
