MarTelo Pipes 6 new

Gustavo Cunha, maker of Martelo pipes, is a nature and wood lover since he was a child. Born in Diamantina-1987, an old colonial village in the Minas Gerais State of Brazil, he had access to traditional wood turners that guided him to study & graduate in design. After he worked in a Brazilian modernist furniture design office. There he made some sketches & then some briars for friends. All freehands of classic shapes.

After visiting Tom Eltang (Denmark) in October 2013 he began to think pipe making was his calling. One month later set up his own workshop, becoming a full-time pipemaker.

Recently he spent some time with Chris Asteriou and Konstantinos Anastasopoulos (Greece) honing his craft, and admits he was greatly influenced  by the young Greek's work.

Gustavo Cunha uses only super dry Greek (Makis Minetos) and Italian (Mimmo Romeo) briar blocks. Most of his stems are hand cut vulcanite.
