Briar
root, the burlwood of the Heath Tree, is also known as French bruyère.
It is an extremely hard and heat-resistant wood traditionally used for
making smoking pipes. The football-sized burls are harvested at the age
of 30 to 60 years and then cooked for several hours, after which they
are dried for several months before they are further processed. The wood
is light brown to reddish brown, often beautifully textured, very hard,
and heat-resistant, which does not affect the aroma of pipe tobacco
smoke. The wood is also used for making jewelry, shaving brush handles,
razor handles, key chain holders, and knife handles.
