Abi Natur - Canaan Pipes

Abi Natur - was born in 1970 and has lived all over the Eastern Mediterranean. He originally started his working career as a sculptor. In his own words " The island of Rhodes in Greece had also a great influence regarding my creative work during the year 2000 while i was working and living there. My experiences in sculpturing stone, mosaics and engravings made then a full circle into reviving the freehand pipe through my inspiration, ambition and memories."

"Canaan pipes are made from the highest quality materials and without the use of a wood lathe. I carve freehand pipes out of the best available Plateau-Bruyère and olive wood. The mouthpiece is hand cut in one piece including the tenon using finest German ebonite, Cumberland, or lucite rods stock .The finished pipes are triple waxed with carnauba wax and come with a handcrafted pipe box from a special softwood that is fitted individually to each pipe, keeping it so in mint condition during the transportation.

Pipe carving is a subtle art that reflects the pipe makers personality fully in his work. Every single pipe out of my Workshop is technically as a smoking instrument brought to the ” level”, providing you with a smoking experiences as it is meant to be. The idea of a deeper creativity should also be delivered through the pipe. I compose in such a manner that it appeals to the observing eye as much as to the hand."

Abi's main market for his pipes is Germany where he won the Pfeiffen macher (pipemaker) Design and Shape awards in July 2011. These are extremely distinguished awards in Germany where pipe making is treated as an art.
