My carvings have won recognition from Pipe Collectors International, including an award for my apple-shaped pipes one of which is shown below. Now that I'm 78, I work only when I feel inspired and although some of my creations might not appeal to some traditionalists or purists, all of my pipes are made from blocks of fine imported briar and are designed to be smoked. I sell my pipes at leading craft shows in Pennsylvania and Maryland and from my shop to pipe enthusiasts around the world. My work generally retails for $60 to $100 for simple carvings; more exotic pieces are priced from $150. | My carvings have won recognition from Pipe Collectors International, including an award for my apple-shaped pipes one of which is shown below.
