« ber briar » est une marque de Briarwood Corp., qui était une subdivision de la Cie KBB--qui deviendra plus tard Kaywoodie


Berbriar is a brand of Briarwood Corp. (California USA). The pipe is made of ground wood (Briar?), the particules being agglomerated under very hight pressure (no glue, no heat). Briarwood Corp. was the company which exploitedManzanita(Mission Briar) during WWI


Mission Briar

\"Mission Briar\" is the other name for Manzanita when used to craft smoking pipes from its burl. It comes from the proximity of a catholic mission on the harvest aera (see\"Monterey\" pipe boxes).

The properties (fire resistance, hardness, grain density) of this wood are by far not equivalent to Mediterranean Briar, but certainly better than Mountain Laurel\'s (Kalmia latifolia), an other war-time Briar substitute used byBreezewoodorTrapwell.

In 1941 the Pacific Briarwood Company (Watsonville CA), aKB&Bsubsidiary, began to harvest the burls growing on the slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains (CA). They were pulled out the ground with tractors and the process wiped out many Brittle-leaved Manzanita plants. Nevertheless the specie doesn\'t seem critically endangered today (2011).

The harvesting began to decrease in 1943 when the first Algerian Briar arrived again.
