Thank you! I try to keep all my pipes Unique works of art, but Functions as well. Im pretty picky when it comes to pipe making if im not satisfied with the shape or if it does not smoke well i wont sell it.
Soon i will have some pipes on my website. Right now ive been selling my pipes in a small store in fortdavice texas. What material are you thinking of having in your pipe? I have 2 blocks high grade briar. A couple blocks of morta and olive wood. Do you prefer volcanite or acrylic Stems? I have 2 briar pipes complete with me at the moment.

Back to the question: I wouldn't pay as much for a pipe of Olive vs. Briar, all things being equal. But then I am not likely to buy an olive wood pipe.

I own 1olive wood pipe my wife had bought me a few years ago. It’s beautiful. I love the grain. I smoke it somewhat regularly. A few times a month. I honestly never thought it burned hotter then my briar pipes do. I really have no complaints about it other then the stem is acrylic. I filed the button to my liking. The only issue I can see is the chamber seems to carbon quite a bit faster then briar. I’m not sure why.

Very nice so fare i love the olive pipe i made does not get hot smokes well so fari like volcanite more find it comfortable but i love the look of acrylic steams i tend to flip between volcanite and acrylic when i make my pipes
