This pipe was fashioned from a thin tree branch by my great grandfather and made in three sections. He was a cabinet maker by trade and no doubt enjoyed handling wood.
The pipe had been smoked by at least him and many years later, me.
One of the joints can be seen, but the other is more difficult to spot. This is due to the neatness of the fit. It has been thickly varnished which my explain how it kept it,s looks for 135 Years
