Neerup Ida pipes are pre-shaped on a revolving work bench and then hand cut into freehand shapes that capture the beauty of the natural grain of the briar. Most Ida pipes are freehand shapes, but every once in a while Peder will throw in a surprise. Some have wildly colored stems and very stunning adornments. Peder can do it all, and the Ida series allows him to showcase his more imaginative shaping and design.
