        Welcome to Balkovec Pipes

        Picture
        Briar Pipes have been around for over a century.  Many Pipe Carvers have come and gone over the years.  I am one of those carvers that will try and leave my mark in the pipe world.  Using different materials such as acrylic and metal, I incorporate an eye catching inlay or band on the pipe or the stem.  Thank you for your interest in my pipes and thank you for visiting my site.

        I would also like to thank all the great friends I have made in the Youtube community.  Their support in my pipe making endeavor means a great deal to me.  Thanks again to the B.O.T.S. and my subscribers.
