PIMO Briar Pipe Making Supplies

Briar Blocks & Plateaux

All our briars are imports from selected Mediterranean producers. All the blocks (ebauchons) are first quality, and all plateaux are extra quality. Quality designation for briar refers to the part of the burl from which the piece has been cut, not to the presence or absence of natural flaws.

PLATEAUX

Plateaux
Plateaux are cut from the outer layer of the burl, where the grain is tight with a striking texture. The rough surface of the burl (the "skin") is left on the top. Plateaux are used for freehands, straight grains and best quality standard pipes. Just as two handmade pipes are never alike, no two plateaux are either.
