The copper morta is younger.2 mortas by Davorin Denovic
Davorin calls these "copper" mortas, and says they are denser and a better grade of morta.View attachment 112974View attachment 112975
I was hoping you'd post that here ?
That's certainly true of the lighter coloured Morettis. The wood seems softer, and I had a couple of "burn/char" spots in the horn-stemmed squat billiard. Luckily it was easily fixed with some pipe-mud.
Still waiting on it and its twin, both have been hung up in customs.I was hoping you'd post that here ?
Could be a result of where they were harvested from like Turkish meer versus African.The 2 Davorins are altogether denser and the wood seems a lot harder than the Morettis, so I'm guessing older morta with a higher mineral content
Sincere question : do you smoke that pipe or just display it?
Yep. I had been looking for a purple pipe for it.visions of Celephais?
Only occasionally? I can put that stuff away when I get started on it. One of my Weavers is dedicated to it.?Devil's holiday occasionally
Show off...lol
