Briarwood s.r.l. is a leading company in the field of semi-processing sketches for pipe made from blocks of Briar Root.

Our experience has lasted for more than sixty years, it was founded in 1948 by Fortunato Demetrio, who handed down over the years maintaining the tradition, now leaded by his son Daniel. Our master sawyers, specifically competent in the "roughing" dissect the roots following the trace of the briar and the various veins, thus being able to obtain the greatest number of sketches with the least expenditure from each root.

Our company uses the best briar root from Calabria and Sicily, which thanks to its properties regarding hardness, light weight and resistance to heat, are among the most compliant in the use of manufacturing of sketches. But a good root is not enough to get a good pipe, that's why we strive to make the most of the raw material for an optimal result. In fact, several elements combination define the quality of the sketch.

Must know how to combine, it requires not only that they have the right wood, but also to know how to use it. It takes the unique culture of the product that we proudly believe that they have, thanks to the teachings of the founder and first acknowledged today by its current owner.

We produce a variety of sizes and quality, and also plates flares selected and viewed by the owner. Those are larger briar sketches, perfect and with particular aesthetic details, called "flame", an adjective derived from his veins. The most beautiful and the most valuable briar pipes in fact have a rib parallel set from the bottom toward the rim. These pipes, "flare", are very exclusive and plates realized form the spearhead of Briarwood.

Quality, reliability, experience, diligence, passion and peculiarities of the constituent components on which we base our work to provide and ensure greater efficiency to our customers.
