Adam Davidson just finished quite the project - a 2,000 year old pipe set. That's right, your eyes are not lying to you - two thousand!

Adam continues to amaze me with his imagination and innovation. As many know, I'm a fan.

Take a deep breath, Adam's not claiming that the briar burls are that old (some claims are better left elsewhere).

If you'd like to see pictures and read about the set, go here: http://web.mac.com/neillarcherroan/A_Passion_for_Pipes/Blog/Blog.html

This was quite the post to reseach and write. Not my everyday blogging experience, I must say. For those who have seen this post on another forum, please forgive the cross-post.

Enjoy....

Neill

That is one of the cooler pipe design stories I've ever heard. Not to mention an awesome result.

WOW! Looks like people knew what they were doing, even back then! I wonder what their blend of choice was?
