Sometimes, the "fossil own" stains, spots or foreign materials like sand are found in natural meerschaum stones. These things appear during the carving. This is not a disadvantage, but reverse, it is a sign, that the material is the real natural meerschaum.
The Removing These Foreign Materials:
- On artwork-pipes we remove these things through the cutting-process.
- On smooth-pipes, to remove these foreign materials we recut. And, approximately 50 % of the smooth - pipes will be aestheticly latticed.
The "latticed-recut" also allows "pipe-cooling"
The following models show you examples for "lattice-cutting": |
