Jacobean Original by Les Wood Smooth Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description:   Jacobean Original by Les Wood Smooth Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked Jacobean Original by Les Wood Smooth Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked This pipe requires some explaining. In fact, it requires quite a lot of explaining, which is covered in our interview with Les Wood on the main MBSD hub. For a brief summary, however: Les Wood is most famous for Ferndown, a make of pipes created by Les and his wife Dolly. But Les and Dolly’s pipe-making didn’t begin with the Ferndown make. There were, in fact, several different names chosen for their pipes that came before Ferndown did. Because of Les’s interest in British royal history, one of those names was “Jacobean.” But, as people outside of England had no idea how to even pronounce “Jacobean,” the make was short-lived, being only produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, at a time when Les was half working for Dunhill and half working privately as L&JS Silverware. This leads to a question: What’s the difference between a Jacobean and a Ferndown? In some senses, not much, in others, a bit more. First, Jacobean pipes were turned “freehand,” in a similar way to James Upshall or earlier Charatan ones were. There were no pre-set shapes or shape charts, not even informal ones. Les took a block of briar to the lathe, turned the bowl until he was satisfied with the shape that emerged, then turned the shank until he was similarly satisfied with the result. The shapes of Jacobean stummels were therefore all different, rather than setting everything up beforehand to make several of the exact same shape, as Les would typically later do for Ferndown orders. The stummels were then oil-cured, just as Ferndowns would later be. Second, the stems were made from cast ebonite rather than hand cut entirely from ebonite rods. The pipes were then finished by Dolly in her inimitable manner, just as with the later Ferndowns. Then, Les would apply silver bands to the pipes, just as with the Ferndowns. Third, the names of finishes were slightly different. This one here is a Jacobean Original, which is closer to Ferndowns Reo finish. Lastly, the pipes were very much “early” works. Les and Dolly were still figuring out how they wanted to approach pipe making and did not have as much control over the quality of the briar used as they would have liked. Some Jacobean pipes have small, visible flaws, while others don’t (this one has a couple of worn out fills). Ultimately, the two decided to up their game with the Ferndown pipes, resulting in a more consistent output. This one is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. There are a couple of scratches on the bowl, so Ive adjusted the price to reflect this. It also comes with its original box (which is a little time-worn) and original sleeve. On a last note, I’m categorizing the Jacobeans I have under both “Ferndown” and “Jacobean,” just so they’re easier to find.
