Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on thesubject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:
“When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood andworkmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes madeof dense, straight grain wood … have atendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke moresweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird\'s–eye, or end grain at thebottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly thanother grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drainaway from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128
