Talbert Morta
Faite en Bretagne (Made in Brittany)
▲ Trever Talbert's Morta pipes essentially come from a stock of petrified wood inherited from his predecessor Patrice Sébilo. Talbert occupied Sebilo's former workshop in Herbignac (Brittany FR) from 2002 until May 2009.
The bog oak used by Talbert came from the Brière marshes (Brittany FR). This wood has been radiocarbon dated: 1497 to 1171 BC. Dentochronologic dating tests on a sample led to a 1342 BC date (1).
(1) VISSET GIRARDCLOS LAMBERT In Quaternaire 1994, vol. 5, no2, pp. 69-77
"There was a brief period (Ed. note: about 2006) when I was marking the stem of each "Ligne Bretagne" with a number of liquid metal dots equal to its grade - a grade 2 got 2 dots, etc. It turned out to be too costly in material and labor and bother, so I stopped it after perhaps six months. So, there are a few pipes out there with stem logos, but not many."
