From the DSH Pipe's website: <i>With a background in theatre, I’ve always been enamored with story telling. This led me to explore pipe making for the first time in 2010, having admired the beauty of briar pipes for several years. By 2012, I’d completed my first pipe and found that story telling through briar was completely intoxicating.
From the DSH Pipe's website: <i>Rooted in the rich, international traditions of pipe making and drawing on my training as a theatre artist, I work to expand the conversation surrounding pipe artistry by exploring forms in motion. In pursuit of this, I combine elements from different aesthetic schools to create never before seen shapes and stretch the limits of existing ones.


While the art of pipe making is a driving force for me, I believe that a pipe is not a pipe until it has been smoked, the smoking qualities of every piece as integral to the tale as the shape or the finish. For this reason, I purchase only the best materials available and take the extra time necessary to engineer every pipe to perfection.
In addition to my focus on pushing the boundaries of artistry in pipe making, I consider craftsmanship to be of the utmost importance. Pipes are functional art and must operate as beautifully as they appear. No expense is spared in the search for the finest materials in the world and I take as much time as necessary to craft each pipe to a new level of excellence.</i>
