Barling Marylebone Ye Olde Wood 1815 The Barling Marylebone 1815 "Ye Olde Wood" is a classic English straight billiard made from high quality aged briar. First introduced in 1913, only the best briar blocks are put through an extensive aging process before they can be given the "YOW" stamp. Each pipe has a metal lions head logo inset on the stem. The name is a tribute to the district of London not far from Regents Park where Benjamin Barling founded his first workshop back in 1812.
