This Poker is cut from my dwindling supply of aged Algerian Briar. I use this sparingly and it always makes a nice piece. I have a couple made from this wood and I really like the way they smoke. I imported this wood directly from Algeria over ten years ago and my source is no longer available. It came out with a beautiful smooth top and an awesome blast, it is a sitter. Hand cut Green Ebonite mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid Sterling Silver “ Wide Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
