Straight Grains

The following pictures show some of the straight grains that are currently available.  More pictures will be added as soon as I can get the pipes finished and take some more photos.

Each pipe has been given a unique number, which will be stamped on the pipe. The prices shown for the UK & EU include VAT @ 17.5%.  There is no VAT chargeable to the Rest of the World. Delivery by standard Airmail is included, a more secure service is available for an extra £5.

The pipes are not perfect, any flaws are indicated in the description. A set of larger photographs and a more detailed description can be obtained via e-mail on request. The sizes are generally the same as those given on the sizes page for the relevant shape number.

There are a few flaws on the back of the bowl. It has been fitted with a new mouthpiece and has had a de-coke and general refurbishment.  The asking price is £90.  If you are interested, and would like more information, please let me know.
