Please take a look at this pipe:

pipe.

It says it is a rose wood briar pipe. So what is it? Rose wood? Briar? or can it be both?

Rosewood is a Brazilian hardwood. I have some recorders made from rosewood and they have a beautiful reddish brown grain which I don't see in that picture. I suspect the pipe is made of some sort of sawdust and resin. I'd be wary.
