Wazoo’s Final Drop: The Last Wood Grain Pipes
In the vibrant world of American glassblowing, Jacob Wazoo, a Colorado-based artisan, has captivated enthusiasts and collectors alike. Hailing from the Rocky Mountain state, Wazoo has built a reputation for blending functionality with natural aesthetics in his handcrafted wood grain pipes. His journey into glassblowing reflects a deep passion for the craft, where he transforms borosilicate glass into pieces that evoke the rugged beauty of the outdoors. Wazoo’s emergence in the functional glass scene has been marked by a commitment to quality and creativity, drawing inspiration from Colorado’s landscapes to create works that feel both timeless and modern.
At the heart of Wazoo’s artistry is his signature wood grain technique, a meticulous process that involves coloring and sandblasting borosilicate glass to mimic the knobby, earthy appearance of natural wood. This style shines in his popular Gandalf pipes, spoon pipes, and water pipes. Intricate details like notches, mushrooms, and friendly little caterpillars add a whimsical, forest-inspired feel. The unique blasted texture, as well as the sculptural details like branches and mushrooms offer a secure grip and a rustic feel that enhances the smoking experience. Wazoo’s use of this wood grain effect showcases his technical prowess, setting his work apart from more conventional fumed or colored glass trends.
Wazoo’s pieces have found a dedicated following among collectors, with many of them sharing stories of discovering his work, often likening it to “petrified wood” or enchanted forest artifacts, highlighting its immersive appeal in the cannabis community. Though Wazoo maintains a low-key online presence, his influence continues to grow, inspiring a niche in the glassblowing world that celebrates organic forms and American-made craftsmanship. For those seeking unique, heirloom-quality glass, Jacob Wazoo’s wood grain pipes offer a perfect fusion of art and utility, proving that true innovation often lies in honoring nature’s own designs.
We have just released a full drop of Wazoo glass, ranging from the pocketable wood grain chillums, through all the way up to the full sized Gandalfs. We’ve got a myriad of classic spoons, some unadorned, others with mushrooms, and even some with caterpillars! Wazoo stated that this is the last retail drop for the foreseeable future, as his path in the glass making world is blowing him in a different direction at the moment. We made sure to order plenty of his signature pieces, but this might be the last time you can easily add a Wazoo pipe to your collection.
This drop has something for everyone! If you like simple understated pieces, you might be drawn to the sleek 10” Wood Grain Gandalf pipes, or even a Branch Spoon Pipe, if you like that knobby branch aesthetic. If you’re looking for more color and whimsy, then maybe a Caterpillar pipe(Some of the little buggers are even UV reactive!) such as the “Log Roller” Steamroller might be more up your alley. But if you want to puff away like a proper wizard, then we recommend trying out a full sized Gandalf pipe. Wazoo’s Gandalfs range from around 10” all the way up the massive 24” Woody Wood Giant Gandalf. Wazoo’s Gandalf pipes are available in a bunch of different styles too, featuring different bowl shapes, and various earthy sculptural elements.
If you’re thinking of getting yourself a Wazoo wood grain pipe, there is no time like the present. This is the last time we will be able to guarantee availability of these amazing wood grain pipes! Wazoo has a history of selling out quickly, so do not wait!
