A former philosophy professor and hobbyist woodworker, Sesa first started making pipes in 2000. Soon thereafter, he had the good fortune to meet the Italian mastro Mauro Gilli, who guided Sesa in his realization of pipe-making as a craft and an art. Sesa’s time spent with Gilli allowed him to hone his technical skills, though Gilli made sure to never try to influence Sesa’s aesthetic decisions. Gilli also learned a great deal about pipe making through online media on the subject.
Driven by curiosity, Sesa would experiment with various materials over the years. These included materials for his stummels – such as tree heather (briar), olivewood, lemonwood, and bog oak (morta) – and for his stems – such as acrylic, ebonite, and amber. Sesa’s experiments gave him the chance to assess the smoking properties and the aesthetic affordances of the materials he would be working with. During this time, Sesa sought not only to produce pipes that smoked well, but also a distinct, personal style.
Mr. Sesa has a fascination for alternate materials. We are happy to have this rusticated billiard with green Cumberland stem, beauty in our shop, even though it will probably soon be gone. A rather large bowl with a very elegant stem and just that beauty and creativity, that you will only find I Italy. The smooth top and box wood decoration makes the construction very harmonic.
