Butz Choquin Straight Grain Collection Now here’s a handsome French piece if ever there was one. The Butz-Choquin Straight Grain 107 shows off what the Saint-Claude workshops do best — fine, expressive grain with a touch of showmanship that never strays into fussiness. The bowl wears a smooth chestnut finish, warm and glowing like a well-oiled walnut countertop, while the rim is capped in pale maple, finished with two tight concentric rings that set it off beautifully.

It’s a combination you don’t often see — that contrast of light and dark, French precision with a bit of natural swagger. The lines are clean, the proportions just right, and it sits comfortably in hand without trying to be clever. The fishtail stem draws easy, the smoke cool, and it feels built for steady use rather than glass-case admiration.

A proper nod to the old French craftsmanship that’s been turning out briar marvels since long before most of us lit our first match.
