I just want to take a few minutes to explain the process Brian uses in the making of all of his pipes. None, I repeat, none of Brian's pipes are machined or turned on a lathe and as such, no two are alike. Brian starts with choice pieces of Mediterranean Plateau Briar. After cutting the rough shape on a band saw, Brian sands and grinds the pipes into the desired shapes. The bore hole and airways are hand drilled and finished and fitted with vulcanite stems.  Rough sanding is followed by fine hand sanding and in certain cases carving. There are no fills in Brians pipes, what is there is the wood in its natural form. Sanding if followed either by staining, waxing and polishing, or just applying a coat of caranuba wax and allowing the natural color and grain to show through.

Brian's pipes are truly pieces of art, and he is one of the few carvers left that does not use a lathe to shape his pieces. I have watched Brian carve pipes and it is truly and enjoyable experience seeing a pipe develop out of a plain block of wood.

Please take a few moments to look at the slide show of Brian's pieces.

This is just a small selection of pipes from his collection, and more will be featured in the coming weeks and months. You can of course use the slide show controls to pause and enlarge pictures, however, the navigation bar to the left will allow you to look at larger pictures of each pipe and full descriptions.

You will find the pricing chart below which corresponds to the pipes in the left navigation bar. We appolagize in advance, but due to our infancy as a web site, we are unable to accept online payments. If you should find an interest in a pipe, we will discuss arrangement for payment, shipping, etc. Again, should you have any questions, you can email us: info@BrianKalnitz.com.

 Please call or email for pricing.
