About the Item
FREEHAND SMOOTH-RUSTICATED SMOKING PIPE KIT
This beautiful Freehand pipe kit offers the nice combination of smooth-rusticated techniques. Harmony of colors and shape between pipe and stand is obvious all over this unique kit. One interesting point about this pipe is the long bent mouthpiece, which offers the nice shape for the pipe. Another is the texture of the Bowl. Tight and straight lines of briar are all around the Bowl and are in the nice harmony with full-bent rusticated Shank. Customized pipe stand is made of Olive Wood and the pipe can perfectly place on the stand. Tamper is made of the Olive Wood as well and places in front of the pipe and on its standpoint.
About the Artist
Marco Cascia was born in Italy. His passion for the smoking pipes was founded about 27 yeas ago at Florida and with the age of 9. Later on he carved his first pipe (for his personal use) with Bamboo. Finally his great interest and passion for smoking pipe bring him into the way of briar carving. Since that time he was tried to invent and carve different style of pipes. During his life he has always continued to design and invent new shapes and types of smoking pipes.
He is always looking for new techniques to get even better results. He carves different shapes of pipes; each pipe however has its own unique character, which makes it different from the others. His smoking pipe production is low and around 50 pipes per year because he mostly put his great attention on what he carves. His pipes are charming, masterfully carved and perfectly balanced. In the case of material he is using the old Italian briar root, Olive wood, ebonite and sometimes cumberland for the mouthpiece.
