A pipe pick is an iron rod, bone or wooden stick to remove tobacco or tar from the pipe bowl. It is often combined with a scoop (approx. 4 cm by 2 cm) that can also pick off caked-on tar (see also pipe reamer), and with a pipe tamper (approx. 1 cm in diameter) to press burning tobacco into the pipe (1). [MOT] (1) This three-in-one pipe tool combination is sometimes called a Czech tool.

Information about these tools and the experiment in 2019 to hollow an oak and compose a wooden water pump can be read on these pages. [MOT]
