Carved pipe box


This is a copy of a 1700's pipe box. It is chip-carved from cherry and has two compartments for holding tobacco. Tiny knobs I turned from brass. 


The pipes are hand carved from African black wood, pear and brass.


They come in light or dark stain and are available on my website:

    The pipe box is so unique! I have never seen one like it before. I LOVE it and the carving on it!!! Those are the most detailed pipes I have ever seen. AND another plus... They don't stink up the house. LOL

    Miniature pipes! Im smiling from ear to ear as they are sooooo unusual. But not just that, they are perfect. I can almost smell 'm as my Grand dad used to smoke pipe :))) I poked the picture to see 'm up close and they are truly magnificent. And the box to keep 'm in is just the same. You have such an imaginative brain and the design on it is so fitting too.
