Full Bent Egg – Smooth (SOLD)

This Bent Egg turned out to have some wonderful grain. It has birds eye all over it with a nice streak of straight tiger grain running along the bottom and up the shank. The curve of this pipe allows it to hang very comfortably in your mouth, while the deep bowl will provide you with a nice long comfortable smoke.

This pipe was made from the finest Italian briar, and the wonderful grain proves it’s worth using only the best wood. There is a nice combination of straight grain and birds eye.

The stem was hand crafted from German black ebonite, and was fashioned with a comfort bit. As with all my pipes, I’ve opened this pipe up properly to give it the the right air flow to provide a cool dry smoke.

Billiard – Blue Cumberland (Unavailable)

November 9, 2012Growleyarchived 2012

This pipe has a bit of the traditional and non-traditional intermingled. While the shape is more on the traditional side, the stems accents it with a less traditional blue cumberland stem.

This pipe was hand crafted from the finest Italian briar. It was carved as a cross grain pipe with straight grain on the front and back, and birds eye on the sides. The hand cut stem was made from a German blue ebonite, accented with a copper band. The blue color is subtle and ads just a bit of flavor to it. The stem was fitted with a comfort fit button, which makes it comfortable and easy to hold in your mouth.

The Devonshire: (Unavailable)

October 21, 2012Growleyarchived 2012

When I look at The Devonshire I think, “sophistication, elegance and the pursuit of knowledge.” I see a wise old professor pouring over dusty volumes, pausing only to puff gently on his pipe.  The Devonshire… I can’t guarantee it will make you more wise, but it will certainly make you apear to be!

This pipe was hand crafted from the finest Italian briar. It offers a wonderful 360 degree display of grain around the bowl and shank, with some nice birds eye on the bottom of the bowl. The hand cut stem was made from a product named Juma. Juma has been around for years, but has only just recently started showing up more in the pipe world. It’s a wonderful product that offers the low maintenance of acrylic with the look and feel of ebonite. The stem was fitted with a comfort fit button, which makes it comfortable and easy to hold in your mouth.

Devil Anse Pair: (SOLD)

September 7, 2012Growleyarchived 2012

Here is a pair of Devils Anse Pipes. It’s an interesting process to make a “pair” of pipes. In some ways you have to be robotic and artistic at the same time; robotic in that the same movements and measurements need to be made to make them similar, artistic in that you need to let go of the measurements at some point and let each pipe flow.

This pair is a sort of “his and her’s” set. Both are made with outstanding Italian briar and German ebonite. One is smooth finished and one is sand blast finished. Other than the color and finish, there are very few differences between the two…two of a kind!

Hurricane Billiard: (Unavailable)

August 28, 2012Growleyarchived 2012

You could call this grain a “Hurricane” of birds eye and flame grain all swirled up in a Billiard. However, the name better indicates the environment in which I carved it. I’m currently waiting for Hurricane Isaac to hit and figured there’s no better way to take my mind off a storm than to make a pipe.

This Billiard was hand crafted from the finest Italian briar. This particular block provided a plethora of fine birds eye and  flame grain, seemingly all swirled asymmetrically together.

The stem was hand cut from German amber flake acrylic, and was fashioned with a comfort bit and a wide open draw.

Horn: (SOLD)

August 18, 2012Growleyarchived 2012

The front and back are adorned with a beautiful bird’s eye grain.

The stem was hand cut from the finest German Ebonite and fashioned with a comfort bit and a wide open draw.

Length: 6.5″
Chamber Depth: 1.93″
