Don Warren Pipes, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
is the brand name of handmade custom pipes carved by myself, Donald W Gillmore. I am a long time woodworker who felt compelled to start making pipes for myself when I resumed pipe smoking after a hiatus of several years. I received a lot of encouragement from local pipe club members and another pipe maker to make more pipes to sell. I attended the 2012 West Coast Pipe Show where I was able to meet and see the work of world class pipe makers. My pipe designs are heavily influenced by the Danish freehand pipe makes of the mid to late 1900's and references to Southwestern color and design motifs. I work with Mediterranean briars, domestic hardwoods (Hickory, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Walnut) and Morta (Bog Oak). I also enjoy combining natural and man made material into my pipes. I believe that the use of deer antler, a form of bone - not horn, re-enforces the connection of many of my designs to the natural world.
