These sets are currently made from high-quality blackwood that was harvested in 2005-6. Hand-engraveing is by David Davidse of Truehand Engraving. David has perfectly reproduced the engraving pattern that was on the original pipe and this is the only option offered. Both craftsmen have captured superbly the lines and shapes of the original pipes.
