And my piece de resistance, this Matched Grain set, still unused because I can’t yet bring myself to mar such beauty. Don’t worry I’ll get there eventually.

If anyone out there has or knows anyone that would be interested in parting with a Kaywoodie Birdseye Grain in great condition I would be very interested. I know they’re rare as hen’s teeth but it’s the one K that keeps evading me, in fact I’ve never seen one for sale in the three years I’ve been looking. 
That all briar’s stem is very lovely. Were there any other companies that did this?
Not to my knowledge, I was lucky with this one as I believe the stems tended to get a bit chewed up, I’ve only seen a couple show up at auction but not in this condition.
I have a Rossi all briar from the twenties. One of the English carvers currently produces briar stemmed pipes. His name escapes me at the moment.
Here is an early one from the forties release.
A few, I’ve sold 4 or 5 over the years. I still have my KW all briar though. I never smoke it, it’s like chewing on a popsicle stick.
Yeah I figure it will either be a collectible piece or smoked by non-clenchers.
It is a very different texture and feeling when you’re used to vulcanite but I just balance mine and try to get as little moisture as possible on it. The meer lining gives it a nice dry and cool smoke actually.
I am smoking this 1940s Kaywoodie handmade for a second day and wanted to likely sell it but I can not do it.I own it for a few years but never smoked it much.It is about the size of my Savinelli 320 -bowl is a little bigger but inside diameter is the same.. It is not as heavy as it looks like ..Decent clencher
smoking both side by side and Sav.320 can't compare with flavors I am getting from this Kaywoodie..wooow.Both pipes has less than 5 bowls smoked.It is something special about an old briar..

Nice Handmade Kaywoodie!How does it smoke?mine taste very special..i have no idea why-old wood,Algerian briar?the only problem on mine is very narrow hole in a bit so even small dia. pipecleaner can almost not make it through..I may drill a wider hole but kinda want to keep it original in this over 80 years old pipe..It smokes great even with a narrow bit hole
I have several pipes with that problem, it’s amazing how many pipe makers didn’t consider this issue when making the bits but like you I want to keep them original wherever possible. Have you tried Falcon cleaners, they’re the strongest for their width I’ve found so far and are my main cleaner these days.
Thanks for an advice!I never tried those cleaners...I will definitely give them a try..
It smokes great. I never have an issue getting BJ Long cleaners through.
I bought this recently on E bay, and if I'm not mistaken it is a Dinwoodie, although the stamping is extremely faint. What do you think?
I came across 2 Kaywoodie pipes today. Both are All Briar with briar stems. Stems are a bit worn, but no teeth marks. One is a 51s shape & the other is a 98b. I was believe that they are from 1955. I was hoping somebody could give me more info on their value?
