	I was born and live in Croatia. I have been engaged in ~~pipemaking~~ for fifteen years and enjoying pipe smoking immensely for the last thirty five years. A few years ago I got to know my present companion, Darko, top master carpenter, who for some time now has been collecting and processing semi-petrified oak wood (abonos, bog-aok, Mooreiche, morta).		I was born and live in Croatia. I have been engaged in pipe making for fifteen years and enjoying pipe smoking immensely for the last thirty five years. A few years ago I got to know my present companion, Darko, top master carpenter, who for some time now has been collecting and processing semi-petrified oak wood (abonos, bog-aok, Mooreiche, morta).

	As a result of our collaboration, pipes started to come to life made of this material too. As expected, like any hobby pipe maker, my first attempts in pipe making were in briar, mostly from the Adriatic coast, followed by olive pipes, and now, as a peak, in morta (in pipe smoker's world morta is a common term for this type of material). As a principle, I do not sell pipes, but rather I enjoy in presenting them as a gift to my friends. Country where I live has natural resources for all materials of which pipes are made nowadays (briar, olive-wood), while in history it was one of the largest manufacturers of clay pipes. So in Croatia top briar, olive-wood, and various sorts (colors) of morta, such as “golden“, “copper“ , and black can be found. Currently I am preparing “red“ and “blue“ morta, as its very rare kind.
