Cylindrical smoking pipe from Peru. Width: 5.5 cm. Height: 3.8 cm. Production time: 2 days. Smoking pipes by Vi? Tor Orlov. I started getting into wood carving in 2010, during a year-long shaman diet in the Peruvian jungle, aided by an abundance of free time and red wood. Palo Sangre, a Brazilian rosewood, became my favorite wood to work with; it initially has quite interesting coloration and structure, and is long-lasting due to its high density. For glazing And encrusting I use only materials found in nature. A smoking pipe is the main instrument of Amazonian shamans – with its aid they both heal and wage war. Mapacho, Indian tobacco, is considered to be a sacred plant and the national heritage of Peru, and it does not cause any lung diseases.
